Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
I dont think that you should not be worried since this is just sign of infectious enterocolitis and this is usually self limiting issue.
Watery loose stools are in most cases caused by dietary causes or infectious ones. If this is caused by diet then he should try to rest more and switch to a diet of clear liquids. Drink water, juice, bouillon and weak tea to avoid becoming dehydrated. Replace lost fluids and electrolytes with sports drinks. Avoid coffee or soft drinks that contain caffeine, since caffeine increases the loss of water and salt.
If you have
nausea and reflux in addition to
diarrhea, take very small sips of fluid frequently and suck on ice chips and antiacid medications. You may also consider over-the-counter medications such as
bismuth subsalicylate (
Pepto-Bismol) or
loperamide (
Imodium).In cases prolonged of infectious diarrheas, you should do microbiologist testing of stool and see the exact microbe and then antibiotics can be used additionally.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
