Presence of foul smelling diarrhea is attributed to infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.
Under such circumstances, a course of antibiotics need to be taken based on culture & sensitivity reports to control the causative organism. In addition, give Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S) for maintaining the hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
The dosage of the medicines will be determined by the weight of your child. So, kindly consult your Doctor and start treatment as advised.
