Treatment For Child's Loose Motions And Low Urine Quantity?
Hi, my 1year son is suffering through loose motions since last three days. No fever and and he's energetic throughout the day. However his urine quantity has lower down than regular and doing motions after every meal. At least 5 times a day. Please suggest what to do? Also is it ok to feed milk? Can we give him Cipla PowerGyl suspension?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
Feeding need not be stopped during diarrhea.
If the urination has decreased give more fluids specially ORS solution 50 ml after each motion or vomiting to prevent dehydration.
Most of the acute diarrheas are self limited.
No need of antibiotics .
You may give Sporolac one sachet daily.
Hope this reply serves your purpose .
Further queries invited .
