Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Monitor for signs of dehydration.
They include
1. Decreased skin turgor
2. Increasing thirst.
3. Sunken eyes.
4. Irritability.
5. Drowsiness.
6. Decreasing passage of urine.
If there is blood or mucus in the stool antibiotics prescribed by your doctor may be required.
ORS or any other fluid containing salt and sugar prevents dehydration.
Vomiting should be controlled by antiemetic prescribed by your doctor.
Probiotics and zinc will help.
Since you mentioned that your baby has loose motions with milk it could be because of lactose intolerance. You should consult your doctor for certain investigations.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
