Welcome to HCM

Vomiting,loose stools are the commonest infections that can happen in infants and toddlers, as they tend to put in their mouth watever they get. This is an habit called mouthing.

You dont have to worry for loose stools unless he is well hydrated.

Nowadays mothers are so wise to start on early Ors, which has to be appreciated.

Now you can give him Z and D drops 1ml-0-0 for 14 days.

Most important preventive measure is to follow basic hygeine practice like washing hands regularly with soap and water before nursing your child.

You can use hand sanitizer too.
