Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi.. How many loose motions does the child pass per day now? Is there any recent change in diet of the baby? Another thing is that along with ORS you should try lactose free formula feeds. A stool examination should also be done as the patient is not responding to the treatment. You should keep watch on the urine output. If anytime you feel that there is reduced urine output or sunken eyes or dry tongue or decreased oral intake, do visit your doctor to correct the dehydration first.
