Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It seems your kid is having acute watery diarrhea. 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. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea. Probiotics like Sporolac are required only for antibiotic associated diarrhoea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z and D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS as suggested. If you still want to give Sporolac you can mix in 5 ml of water and give it. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
