Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Diarrhoea in this age is most likely due to a self limiting viral gastroenteritis episode or toddlers diarrhoea due to excess intake of refined sugars.
There is no need for antibiotics in these illnesses.
I would recommend you to take the following measures to help him:
1. Avoid refined sugars as in fruit juices, chocolate, cold drinks.
2. Keep him well hydrated by regular feeds and oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups or buttermilk milk.
3. Avoid milk and dairy products for a week because children are prone to transient lactose intolerance after diarrhoea episodes. This leads to prolongation of episodes.
4. Continue enterogermina and also start him on a zinc supplement such as Syp. Zinconia for 2 weeks. This will help in early recovery.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you out in any future health related questions.
Take care
