hi..
it is just acute watery diarrhea.. nothing much to worry. follow the following suggestions
1. if bottle feeding - stop it
2. make sure child drinks plenty of fluids- breast milk, ORs
3. at least child must pass 6-8 times urine per day
4. oral Zinc 2mg/kg/day once a day for 14 days
stop floxa bid syrup. diarrhea takes 3 to 5 days to stop.
if you are happy with my suggestion kindly rate me.
