Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

At present loose stools are looking like infection of gut with some virus.

The mainstay of treatment is to monitor and maintain hydration of the child.

Give sips of oral rehydration fluids such as Pedialyte to maintain hydration.

Monitor her hydration by activity, urine output, and skin turgor.

Continue zinc and oral probiotics as advised.

Be in follow up with the Pediatrician till the child improves.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
