For any specific treatment with antibiotics,consult your doctor and maintain proper hydration with plenty of liquids like coconut water or ORS.

If diarrhea persists or is frequent, a change in diet and treatment with oral rehydration solutions may be necessary. Oral rehydration solutions, also called electrolyte solutions, help to replace the water and salts lost during diarrhea, and they may be easier to digest than the child's regular diet.
