My 13 month old son has had a change in biwel movements for the past 3 weeks,yellow and mushy and a strong fish smell he is otherwise well but at the same time his sleeping in the night has been terrible waking constantly whimpering and unable to settle even though he is exhausted, I wondered if he may have an allergy to cows milk?

Hi.... milk allergy would have resulted in blood in stool and also eczema like changes in the skin of flexures.

It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.

Regarding diet - Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.
