Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Diarrhea in children is always self limited and does not warrens any treatment except preventing dehydration and malnutrition.
If it is infective diarrhea antibiotic is needed .
Zanocin can be safely given.
Plenty of fluids orally and continue feeding as usual .
Sporolac sachet s may be given to prevent diarrhea .
Cyclopam syrup 2-3times daily will give relief from colicky pain.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
