Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of loose motion which is due to poor digestion, poor absorption or rapid movement through the intestines and all this leads to watery diarrhea. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take zinc supplements along with oral rehydrating solution. You can take Nitazoxanide twice daily to prevent diarrhea. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If your symptoms keeps on persisting visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. You should take antibiotic such as oflox-oz along with rekool-d empty stomach one hour before meal.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
