Pediatrician,  's  Response
In case of child below 24 months most of the diarrhoea are viral in nature.. And usually it takes 4 to 7 days for full recovery despite of all d medications. the child should b rehydrated with adequate amount of oral rehydration solution and 20 mg per day zinc solution for 10 to 14 days..And green colour stool is normal for a child of this age bcoz of inadequate entero hepatic circulation so no need for concern...
