Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of loose motions which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which is mainly due to lifestyle and type of food consumed. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen for fever in dosage of 15mg/kg. You should them plenty of fluids to rehydrate. As fever of value 103 is very high so you should do tepid sponging as well. Lanzol (lansoprazole) is safe medication as it inhibit acid secretion in stomach. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done of children to find out underlying cause of fever weather bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can give paracetamol syrup for fever as well to child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
