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, pohax upma daliya.
remain in contact with dr.
many times loose motions can take 15 days to recover due to intestinal damage.
continue zinc given by dr for healing of intestinal damage.
