Hi,

For your 19-month-old baby: First of all just ensure to monitor temperature a 4 hourly temperature charting will help to plan proper line of treatment.

For fever give the baby Drop. Pacimol/Crocin every 6 hourly (for baby weight = 8 kg). And about diarrhoea: 3-4 stool episodes in a day is OK until the baby is active. Non lethargic.

Just give ORS/Electral. If signs of dehydration appear then more of ORS Along with zinc will be helpful. Susp. Amox can be given in case of some dehydration.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
