Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.
I know that you are very concerned about your child but don’t worry.

By what you quote it seems that your child has acute gastroenteritis.
In my opinion, you should give
- syrup cefixime (5ml=50mg) 2 ml three times a day for 3 days
- enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days
- stop bottle feed, if you are giving
- feed child more frequently to prevent dehydration.

Review after 2 days.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.

If you have any more questions, you can ask me at

Take care.
