Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
1)anti-diarrheal medicines for children.
2) oral rehydration solution. These products,have fluids and electrolytes and can prevent or treat dehydration.
3)starchy foods like strained bananas, applesauce, and rice cereal until the diarrhea stops.
You should avoid :
• Greasy foods
• Foods that are high in fiber
• Dairy products such as milk and cheese
• Sweets such as cake, cookies, and soda
4)Wash your hands with warm water and soap every time you change your baby's diaper to prevent the infection from spreading. Keep the diaper-changing area clean and disinfected.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
