Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Stomach infection is the possibility (especially dysentry) may be the diagnosis.
Stool culture and sensitivity to be done. Result of the stool culture will tell us the exact bug causing the disease and the exact drug to be used.
Complete the course of antibiotic as recommended and hope with this child will recover.
Thanks
