Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Always start adequate supportive treatment for diarrhoea including oral rehydration solution, probiotics, zinc, b complex vitamins.

As you are prescribed Zinconia syrup which contains zinc acetate (helps in case of diarrhea in children).

If diarrhea doesn't stop by third day, I would advice to get a stool routine and culture test done to check for infection.

Continue ORS therapy, suplemented in frequent small sips as much as child can drink.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shesh Jaiswal
