Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Your child is having diarrhea for 2 weeks now,so I suggest you to get his stool examined both routine and culture and for reducing substance as well.
Give exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age.
Give oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stool.
Give lactobaccilus and zinc after consulting your pediatrician.

Wishing your baby good health.
God bless...
