Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Your child seems having a bacterial infection mostly dysentery.

It requires a course of antibiotic.

Oral probiotic and zinc can be given in prescribed dose.

Give sips of oral rehydration solutions to maintain hydration of the child.

Depending on stool culture report, antibiotic can be modified or continued.

Consult the pediatrician for follow up.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
