Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

It seems your kid is having bacterial diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. It happens because the kids of this age keep everything they play with in mouth resulting in intestinal infection.

Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

Along with antibiotics, I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
