Hi dear,
Your child appears to have some concurrent tummy infection. One should think of giving paracetamol syrup six hourly or SOS. And ORS in continuous sips according to losses of fluids through stools. Ideally one should go for the stool culture and sensitivity to know the bug. If culture not possible one can go for ofloxacin syrup 10 mg/kg per day.
Thankx
