it is not advisable to give papaya because it will cause more loose motion
kindly give ors(oral rehydration solution) for every episode of loose motion and give simple diet made from rice dal and khichdi curd buttermilk apple banana and the natural probiotics from the curd will help in decreasing the loose motion and if it is not improving in one or two days then kindly meet your doctor.

hi dear
Papaya. Papaya is extremely beneficial especially in case of digestive problems like constipation. Helping in regular bowel movement, its consumption can treat constipation. You can either provide papaya fruit or its smoothie to your child.
