Hi,

As per your query, your baby has symptoms of loose motions which seems to be due to electrolyte imbalance in the body leading to acute gastroenteritis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you take acetaminophen. You should give child proper rest. You should them plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done of children to find out the underlying cause of the condition and start treatment accordingly. Your child's symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
