Hi
Thanks for your query
Diarrhea can be viral or bacterial in nature and takes few days to settle.
This is good that your baby is active,taking feeds properly.
Most important in diarrhea is to prevent dehydration,so continue giving him milk.give lactobacillus sachet for 3 to 4 days.and zinc for 14 days.
Hi,
Thank you for your query,
I went through your complaints of your child and his stool examination and this diarrhea is looking like a Viral origin.
Continue the medication as advised by your Pediatrician and give frequent breast feeding, oral rehydrating solution to prevent dehydration and if stool not reducing go for stool culture and sensitivity after consulting your Doctor.
Hope i have answered your query.
