Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Which feeds your baby is recieving? top feeds or exclusive breastfeeds?
Your child seems to have acute gastroenteritis mostly due to a bacteria.
I advise you to give exclusive breast feeds till the age of 6 months.
Give sips of oral rehydration solutions to maintain hydration.
Consult your Pediatrcian for the medication.
Hope I have answered your query.
