Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com
Your grand daughter requires intake of plenty of fluid in the form of water, fresh fruit juices, warm soups, tender coconut water, along with these she should be given light meal like porridge, curd rice, boiled pulse and rice. If she does not respond to this than she should be given laxatives.

In case, the condition worsen she should be immediately taken to pediatrician who will asses and prescribe the medicine as per the requirement.

Hope you find this informative. Your vote of thanks is very much appreciated!!!

With best wishes,

Dr. Vishwanath Patil
