Hi,
Most diarrhoea cases in infants are caused by viruses and need only supportive measures. If baby do not have fever, stool doesn’t contain blood or mucus, he is playful and feeding well, nothing to worry. Just continue Nutrolin and give ORS sips after each stool. It may take 7-10 days for motion to get normalised
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
