Hi
thanks for your query at HCM
put salinase nasal drops in nostrils
generally antibiotics are not recommended for loose motions but continue them for tonsillits
you should give him extra fluid and ORS ,
monitor his hydration status
if there is any blood or fever or child starts vomit every thing then immediately visit you doctor
change his diaper after every loose stool
how much urine he is passing
continuous follow up to your gastroentrologist is necessary for 2nd line of investigations
i will be available for your help
wishing you a speedy recovery
take care
regards
Dr. Imran Hussain
