Hello Dr. Bhagat,
Thank you for your advice.
Yes he has loose stomach, in past 24 hours he had 4 times but no signs of vomiting. We have not given any other medicine so far, thus only going ahead with the one advised by you.
Please advice in case anything else to be given for stomach upset.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up.
Since he is having loose motions it is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days.
Most important is to maintain and monitor hydration.
Give oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stool.
Give buttermilk,lemonade,boiled potato,khichdi with curd.
Give probiotic XXXXXXX two times a day.
watch for features of dehydration.
-decrease in urine output
-lethargy
-decrease in skin turgor
-sunken eyes
In case symptoms persist kindly get him examined by pediatrician as bacterial infection needs to be ruled out for which course of antibiotic will be required.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Take care!!
