Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

He is suffering from recurrent diarrhea. Give him a full course of Zinc for 14 days apart from treatment prescribed , if diarrhea persists he need to be investigated to know cause of diarrhea.Most common cause is viral but other cause like bacterial diarrhea, and other parasitic infection needs to be rule out.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing your baby good health.
