Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually loose stools in this age is viral in nature.
You mentioned that your child previously had vomiting and this loose stools could be an extension of the same viral infection.
You can continue to give the medicines your.doctor has prescribed. They will definitely help in controlling loose.stools.
I usually give zinc (ascazin in your prescription ) at 20 mg for 2 weeks.
This will help in controlling symptoms and faster recovery.
Don't worry it will settle in few days.
Ensure Ors is given every few minutes as sips to keep hydration adequate.
Ensure he passes urine atleast 6 times a day.
If no improvement and he becomes dull with low urine output consult your doctor again to assess need for intravenous fluids.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
