loose stools may occur due to some  infection or if chronic than could be some malabsorption.
Initially you can give zinc supplement for 2 weeks and probiotic like darolac sachet for 3 days for two times a day.
For any specific treatment with antibiotics,consult your doctor and maintain proper hydration with plenty of liquids like coconut water or ORS.
 can give khichdi,sabudana , mashed potato ,ripe banana, poha if the baby is above 6 months of age. if there is any stomach ache in a baby above one year of age drotin ds syrup can be given under medical advice.usually during the teething phf.gase loose motion is commonly seen in the babies because children have a tendency to put their dirty fingers into the mouth or any other object due to irritation in the gums.if there is fever calpol and for vomiting you can give domstal to your child in proper dosages under the supervision of your pediatrician.

Hello dear parent! Complete the course of medication as prescribed by your doctor. Maintain a good personal hygiene for your child. Include curd and buttermilk to improve your child’s digestion and gut health. If the problem persists consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Good luck and take care.
