Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

It seems that your child has an acute gastroenteritis episode following a respiratory infection. If there is a suspected viral gastroenteritis, the main line of treatment is usually oral rehydration therapy. If any bacterial infection is suspected, then antibiotics such as Septran is useful.

Zinc syrups such as syrup Z n D are recommended in gastroenteritis episodes because they help in regeneration of gut mucosa, boost immunity, helps early recovery and also prevents such episodes in future for 2-3months.
