Hi
Welcome to the HCM

In my opinion your child is suffering from a viral gastroenteritis episode. It can occur at this age because child tries to bite on anything in his reach leading to infections. You can take the following measures:

1. Keep him well hydrated by regular oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, Buttermilk, or oral rehydration solution available OTC.
2. Give him acetaminophen if fever occurs.
3. Start Syp. Zinc 20 mg once daily for next2 weeks.
4. Offer him regular feeds.
5. In case he becomes very lethargic and doesn't take anything orally, consult a pediatrician for proper examination and laboratory work up.
