Hi, My 6year old son started with viral fever around a week back. And following a diarrhea after two days. He is getting watery green stool 8to9 times a day. He is under medication from last three days as follows zifi 100,rinifol z,enterogermina and Jr lanzol. Now no fever but he is still passing green stool even after 3 days of medication and complaining stomach cramps sometimes. However the frequency of bowel movement is reduced. But still getting 5/6 times a day. He is active and well dehydrated. We are worried about his green stool and frequently bowel movement.any suggest?
