hi thanks for asking to HCM -as you said the child having loose motion for past 12 days , so i think he is dehydrated now. the current therapy given by your doctor is good, but along with this please ask for fluid therapy with desired antibiotics. it will help him better. and for present keep giving him banAna and ORS solution. 2 to 5 spoon per half hour. take care bye.
12 days already are too long a time for a child to suffer
The child needs some investigations...
It is advisable to have a second opinion...
May be it is wiser to admit the child for a couple of days and get things stabilised...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
