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 . fgAntibiotics has their role only if it is bacterial infection . for this doctor guidance is necessary .

A. U Should stop giving milk to the child you cannot give milk at all to the child because it increases diarrhoea other than that if you want you can give banana take some boiled rice add some curd and salt into it because that will work like a probiotic for the child and also start with ors and zinc supplement
