What Causes Whitish Diarrhea In A Child?

Acute gastroenteritis symptomatic care no cow milk at all
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. The answer lies in the question. We Do NOT give cow milk to a child less than 2 years of age.
This recent 5 days history of whitish diarrhea however is a flare of acute gastroenteritis and should be treated with fluids replenishment and measures for rehydration.
Give your child only Banana Rice applesauce and Toast till full recovery. Pomegranate extracts and green tea with oral rehydration solutions like paedialyte etc should also be in place. Keep a diary of your baby stools and notice any improvement in time duration and frequency etc.
Prefer breast feeding if available as that is the best of all managements plans.
Get your child a rota virus vaccine and if the symptoms persist for more than 72 hours get the child to a paediatrician and let them evaluate him for the cause with some work up over stool like parasites, ova, rota virus immunoassay etc.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and your child and don't forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
