Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, since its already more than 4 days, you need to give antibiotic to child like syrup oflox (5ml =50 mg) 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. However since this is a prescription medicine, i advice you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
Also, you need to give prebiotic like enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days to increase gut immunity.
Take care.
