A. Loose motions usually may be caused by any infection which may be associated with symptoms like fever and vomiting apart from increased frequency of motion which may be watery. in this symptomatic treatment is given along with management of dehydration.in case of vomiting can give domstal for now. If loose motions are associated with foul smell or mucus it could be bacterial infection which need proper antibiotic treatment that could be decided by the consulting pediatrician . for now you cacn start giving probiotic like enterogermina 2 times a day. Avoid any kind of maida containing food or junk food and give only moong daal khichdi ,curd rice ,coconut water etc. Avoid giving excess of nmilk ,you can also give banana which will help. Giving ORS solution and more of water will compensate for the loss of liquids in the body.

A. An age-old home remedy for loose motion, ORS has a notable effect on your baby’s diarrhoea. While it does not cure the diarrhoea, it will replace all the essential salts and fluids that are being lost. You can purchase the sachets of ORS available in medical stores or you can prepare the solution at home. For the home preparation, mix ½ tsp of salt and 6 tsp of sugar in one litre of water. Feed this solution to your baby every one hour and you will see a difference in their health.
