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 pvrobiotic can be given like enterogermina or econorm in a proper dose . Antibiotics has their role onbly if it is bacterial infection . for this doctor guidance is necessary .

A. No You’ll have to mix it up with water only because that’s what is the right way to go about it apart from that if your child is not liking it plain water then you can go ahead with coconut water also that is also a good way to give it to the child
