Hi,

Most likely bacterial or viral infection of the gut. Additional points for recovery:
- Continue current medications
- Addition of Metronidazole suspension in drug basket
- Extra zinc syrup helps to regain the strength of bacterial gut flora
- Add butter milk (fresh and home made), mung water, lemon juice with breast milk intake
- Observe for urine output and fever if any
- Check that the child is not putting toys like stuffs in mouth creating extra burden of microbes to gut.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
