Hi, my 6 months old daughther has suddenly developed hoarse voice. She s not sick but I gave her bovril in porridge yesterday. Started to be cranky since last night. Today, her stools appeared to be more sticky than usual & she pooed 3 times today. What is wrong with her?

Hello,

It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. 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 to worry.

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops) & ORS as hydration is a very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your pediatrician).
Regarding diet - You can use cerelac...any flavor will do. Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
