Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of loose motions which seems to be due to viral infection of body leading to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body.
Need not to worry. Give him banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate him. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole or albendazole depending upon the diagnosis . You should give Ibuprofen to your son along with proton pump inhibitors as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
