General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Sorry about your child. Your child have acute gastroenteritis. He will benefit from oral rehydration salt and Zinc. You need not increase the zinconia, once daily is okay. Continue feeding him. If symptoms still persists kindly take him to the hospital, he might need intravenous fluids.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
