Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the recurrent diarrhea, due to the contaminated water, used for milk, or semisolid foods etc.
The other causes may be the lactose intolerance, if breast fed the nature of the mothers food with spices, or indigestible foods may some times cause the diarrhea.
I advise you to consult a pediatrician for diagnosis and treatment.
The testing of stools for reducing substances will confirm the lactose intolerance, if present the natural milk should be avoided.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
