General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Avoid giving anything to baby other than milk for at least 5 months. Weaning is started after 5 months. I would suggest you following things:
> Give Pedialyte solution frequently. Give as much as baby wants (frequent sips) specially after every motion.
> Give sips of yogurt.
> Give zinc suspension 1 table spoon daily for 10 days
> Amybact pro-biotic satchet -> Mix in milk or yogurt and then give him. Twice a day for 7 days

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 3-4 days
> Child becomes lethargic
> Child becomes unconscious
> Child refuses to take oral feed.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing him good health.
