Suggest Remedy For Persistent Diarrhea

My son is 2 and a half y/o. For the last month he has had diarrhea nearly every day, with an occasional solid b.m. every now and then. He isn t having a b.m. any more frequent than usual. I ve stayed away from fruits and sugary foods/drinks but still the diarrhea. He doesn t have any other signs of illness. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

Hi...It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

But I have few questions for you-

Questions:
1. What was the birth weight and what is the current weight?
2. How is the attaining of developmental milestones?
3. Is the stool oily and floats in the pan?
4. Is there any colour change in the hair or skin?
5. Is there any history of recurrent serious infections?

Kindly get back to me with answers and I will be glad to help you.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below -
