A. if loose motions are not improving then please go for stool examination (stool rm and stool culture). this will tell if loose motions are due to persistent infection or it is a part of delayed intestinal healing or is osmotic diarrhoea or due to lactose intolerance. can continue probiotics like sachet econorm / respule enterogermina (twice daily), ors. cannot give milk and dairy products, sugary diet, biscuits maida, icecream, packet foods, tea, coffee, soda, chocolate, nonveg diet, fried items (cerelac in small children). can give rice, dal, khichdi curd butter milk, apple banana, lime water coconut water, poha upma daliya.z remain in contact with dr. many times loose motions can take 15 days to recover due to intestinalz damage. continue zinc given by dr for healing of intestinal damage.

A. You should consult your doctor before you give any medicine to the child and you do not recommend you to self medicate your child so for all the issue even if for loose motion I think you need to recheck with your doctor and need to get us stool done for your child
