How Can Rotaviral Diarrhea Be Treated?

My 11month s daughter is suffering from rotaviral diarrhea. Our doctor have prescribed enterogermina oral suspension twice a day which she has started taking along with the TAXIME-O FORTE syrup & Zn20 suspension and it s been 12 hour past but loose motion is not stopped (happening slowly) and she urinated only two times between this 12 hour. We are giving her ors (Repute RTU) and water as much as possible to avoid dehydration. Is it normal? How long it s gonna take to show effect? Because we don t want to admit her to hospital for saline.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think the antibiotic she is taking is not effective since rotavirus is virus and cant be treated with antibacterial.
There is not a specific medication.
Keep her hydrated. Tresol can help.
The effect of rehydration is seen in less than two hours.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
