Thank you for the question.
Keep a close watch.
If stools frequency and wateriness with or without vomiting increases take the child to the med.
In the mean time you can give the child plenty of lemonade, butter milk besides regular food.
It is advisable to stop any medication if you are giving on your own.
If prescribed by a doctor then check with the doctor if you should continue it.
My preference is not to give any non prescribed medicines.
