Hello,
The most important step in treating diarrhea is re-hydration. The child should be given ORS freshly prepared daily, in small sips about 50 ml after passing each loose stool. Giving ORS in large quantities can make the child vomit, use spoon or sipper and give the fluid in very small quantities each time. About half of 1gm sachet of Sporalac powder can be dissolved in 5-10 ml of water and given up to 3-4 times per day.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
