Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

"Rinifol" is folic acid and it can only be given where it is indicative. As long as diarrhea is concerned, the underlying cause of it would be matter of concern. But in pediatric age group, it the only matter of concern is hydration and that needs to be taken care. Without strong and clinical indication "Rinifol" should be avoided.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
