hello XXXXXX as a paediatrician i am much concerned with the diarrhoea with blood ( called dysentery) it may be of bacterial origin (want more details to conform it) because child may have dehydration and loss of electrolytes from the body . start the child immediately on ORS (take care mix the whole packet in 1 L of water or it may worsen the diarrhoea) as much as child can take , syrup zynconia(zinc)5ml oral once a day, and lactobacillus (sporolac) twice a day and i have some other questions reply me
weight of the child
stool - colour smell composition , frequency, duration
fever - continuous or intermittent high grade or low grade
any other symptoms like cold burning micturation
