Hi
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Diarrhea since one week is really a matter of concern.
Sporolac one sachet daily and Zn-20 5 ml daily will prevent diarrhea .
Continue with feeding as usual and do not dilute feeds .
Give plenty of water and ORS solution to prevent dehy dehydration .
Get the stool examined for reducing sugars.
If present introduce soya based milk like Zerolac in place of usual diet.
Cyclopam syrup 2-3times daily to reduce colicky pain and make the baby more comfortable.
Hope this answer is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
