Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi Dear

welcome to the HCM,

Probably child has contacted some GIT infection,
Stool culture,sensitivity and routine examination to be done to know the exact bug causing the problem.

Try to give simple semisolid food like dal ,rice, curd etc avoid egg and ghee for some time.

Hand to mouth hygiene to be taken care off strickly.

Bottle is one of the important source of infection in this rainy season, should be boiled every time. Better to avoid bottle and encourage to give milk by cup etc.

Semi solid diet to be encouraged by this age.

Hope the query is answered.

thanks
