Hi, thanks for using HCM.

Zinc supplementation is a critical new intervention for treating diarrhea episodes in children. Recent studies suggest that administration of zinc along with new low osmolarity oral rehydration solutions / salts (ORS), can reduce the duration and severity of diarrheal episodes.
continue zinc syrup, its helpful for your baby.
