Thanks for your query at HCM. I understand your concern and situation as a mother.
Most of the cases of diarrhoea are due to viruses like rotavirus, adenovirus, etc. These are self limiting and resolve in week time. Till that you just need to keep your child hydration maintained by oral fluids like ORS after each episode. Feed child properly with light diets no spicy or too oily whatever she likes. Don't give beverages and sweet juices. Sporolac can be given. As prophylactic measure get stool routine microscopy examination done and culture sensitivity test for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. If child look dehydrated needs emergency management by hospitalization.
Take care. Dr. Sheetal Verma
