A. Loose motions usually may be caused by any infection which may be associated with symptoms like fever and vomiting apart from increased frequency of motion which may be watery. in this symptomatic treatment is given along with management of dehydration. If there is case of vomiting can give domstal for now. If loose motions are associated with foul smell or mucus it could be bacterial infection which need proper antibiotic treatment that could be decided by the consulting pediatrician . for now you can start giving probiotic like enterogermina 2 times a day. Avoid any kind of maida containing food or junk food and give only moong daal khichdi ,curd rice ,coconut water etc. Avoid giving excess of milk ,you can also give bana3na which will help. Giving ORS solution and more of water will compensate for the loss of liquids in the body.

A. kindly give ORS(oral rehydration solution) for every episode of loose motion and give simple diet made from rice dal and khichdi curd buttermilk apple banana and the natural probiotics from the curd will help in decreasing the loose motion and if it is not improving in one or two days then kindly meet your doctor. Also you cannot give outside milk and cerelac also but you can continue to give breastfeeding if going on for next few days.x Avoid giving sweet sugary food as well as maida and biscuits, chocolate, icecream, packet foods cerelac.
