POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Frequent loose motions and low weight in a 4-year-old like Sannidhya may point to a sensitive stomach, possible food intolerance, or an underlying gut infection. Start by giving him easily digestible, light foods like rice, curd, banana, khichdi, boiled potato, and coconut water. Avoid milk (if not tolerated), oily or spicy foods, packaged juices, and raw fruits for a few days. Keep him well-hydrated with ORS after each loose stool. Probiotics (like curd or pediatric supplements) can help restore healthy gut bacteria.
Since he is underweight and this is happening frequently, it’s important to consult a pediatrician to check for infections (like giardia or parasites), lactose intolerance, or malabsorption issues. Timely medical advice will help identify the cause and prevent nutritional deficiencies.
