Brief Answer:
Start Racecadotril granules
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems that your child is suffering from an episode of gastroenteritis most likely due to viral infection. Viral infections tae a few days to recover.
I see such cases routinely in my clinical practice and recommend to start Racecadotril granules (1 XXXXXXX of 30 mg thrice daily). It helps to relieve the frequency of stools.Treatment should be continued until 2 normal stools are recorded and should not exceed 7 days.
I would also suggest you to take treatment for worm infestation as well such as albendazole (400 mg single dose).
Keep him well hydrated by regular feeds and oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups, buttermilk or ORS.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
