Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. The prolinged diarrhea in a 2&half months child,premature by birth is more likely due to lactose intollerance... Confirmation of the diagnosis by blood or breath test ,change in feeds,suplimentationof enzymelactase are the specific manegement methods. Please consult his paediatritian.
Thanks.
