A. Loose motion most of the time is because of some infection which could be viral or bacterial and in such case it is associated with symptoms like fever along with vomiting and loss of appetite . supportive treatment is very necessary where proper hydration should be maintained by giving ORS along with that probiotic can be given like enterogermina or econorm in a proper dose . Antibiotics has their role ht only if it is bacterial infection . for this doctor guidance is necessary .

A. You shouldn’t be going ahead with stool test just like that you’ll have to consult your paediatrician Dil exactly advise you which is the best test that you should be going for as of now because without knowing the correct reason as to why do you want to go ahead with it it would very be very difficult to advise you with any stool test
