Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Continue the medication as advised by your Pediatrician.
For fever you can give paracetamol in prescribed dose.
The mainstay of treatment in loose motions is to maintain hydration of the child.
Give sips of oral rehydration solutions like Pedialyte to prevent dehydration.
Consult again your pediatrician for reassessment of the child and specific medication for diarrhea.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Does she have any other problem like rapid breathing, chest indrawing, bluish coloration of fingers etc?
These indicate worsening of pneumonia.
Those loose motions could be side effects of the antibiotic that was given.
Please consult your doctor at the earliest.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The most important aspect of management of diarrhoea is hydration

3rd stage pneumonia generally needs admission...
Ask your doctor - the diarrhoea may be a part of the infection / or side effect of the drug (usually antibiotic) - may have to be changed...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
