Hi,

Probably what started as viral diarrhea might have got prolonged into antibiotic-associated diarrhea and now is gradually settling.

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

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops) & ORS as hydration is a very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your pediatrician).

Regarding diet - You can use cerelac... any flavour will do. Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea.

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

Regards,
