Hi,
According to me certain antibiotics have diarrhoea as side effects , hence that could be a cause as well. If the kid had a congestion , he will vomit to bring out the phelm.
If the diarrhoea is mild, meaning just around 4 to 5 times then you can wait . Please do keep the kid hydrated by giving ORS.
Avoid giving milk to the kid for a couple of days.
If by 2-3 days the kids d is not doing well, or is getting tiered, or not passing adequate urine then please get back to your doctor.
Thank you
