Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most of diarrhoea in children is caused due to a virus called rotavirus. Antibiotics are ineffective in viral infections. All you need to take care of the hydration by giving Electral/ORS so that the salt and water balance is retained. Antibiotics like Ornidox NT can be given if bacterial infection is suspected. It is good and nothing more needs to be given. Complete the full course of 5 days.
You may add curd or yogurt to the diet and it would help. Also give Zinconia syrup 5 ml once a day. Zinc has a beneficial role in diarrhoea.
Green stool indicates rapid transit through the large intestine without time to change the colour to yellow. It may be seen in diarrhoea and is not a cause of concern.
