Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Stool culture to be done to get the exact cause of the problem and some times the exact drug also to be known by this.
many times diarrhea subsided of its own after the body has expelled all the toxic material out of the body.
Feeding hygiene, hand to mouth hygiene to be given utmost importance.
Please watch for the hydration status of the child.
Hope the query is answered .
