Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should immediately consult pediatrician for your child.
We need to first assess dehydration in him.
He needs breast feeding, ORS (oral rehydration solution) and zinc tablet.
So better to consult pediatrician and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your child. Thanks.
