General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,

Going by the history of your child s illness, she seems to be suffering from acute gastroenteritis(infection of the bowel)

So , you can continue with p250 for fever as and when reqiured, Asthakind dx can be taken in case cold persist.

Kids of this age, generally tend to have these symptoms due to rotavirus infection. But this is self limiting generally. in case loose stools do not subside , you should give any combination drug of Norfloxacin-Tinidazole according to the body weight of your child.

A zinc preparation 5mg twice daily along with ORS (as per body weight) is very much helpful.
Importance should be given to increased fluid intake and adequate urine output to check for dehydration.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr.Pallavi Jain
