Hello,
I want to ask you whether these symptoms are associated with fever, vomiting or not? I will suggest you do a stool culture sensitivity test after physician consultation. For that now you can continue syrup Flagyl, and give syrup Albendazole single dose, electral powder after pediatrician consultation, providing that you don’t have any drug allergy. You should feed a soft diet to him and keep him well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
