Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I suggest you to do stool tests such as stool routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity to know the cause for infection with the advise of the doctor.
Continue to give ORS, oral zinc and you can add an oral probiotic.
Monitor hydration status.
Antibiotic can be given if stool tests are suggestive of any bacterial infection.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
