Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Treatment the child is getting is alright provided the proper doses are used according to weight.
Stool culture sensitivity to be done to get the exact bug causing the problem and accordingly child may be given medicines to get the desired result.
Take care of the hydration of the child seriously by giving regular sips of ORS water etc.
Many times diarrhea subsides of its own as the infection is expelled out of the body with loose stools.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
