Hi, Thanks for asking question on healthcaremagic. Loose stools in a child of this age group are usually because of viral infection. Please do not worry as it usually takes 5-10 days for a child to recover from this viral gasteroenteritis and medications are of least help. Rather than giving medications to stop loose stools it is more important to maintain hydration of the child. Give him 60 to 100 ml of WHO oral rehydration solution ( ORS ) after every loose stool and vomiting. This is important to avoid any loss of water from the body which can be dangerous. I hope it helps. Please feel free to ask anything more. thanks
