My son is having stomach upset since afternoon. He was hospitalized due to acute stomach infection last month. He constantly puts his hand inside his mouth. He is 2 years 8 months old. Today whenever he pooped it was loud. I have given superflora gg sachet once. He pooped four times till now. I got scared because I am alone at home with him at present. My father is sick too. My husband is out of station. Ofm is there at home. Can I give if he poops again. Kindly suggest the dose and requirement. Last time he was given ofm and zinconia for three to 5 days and 10 days for zinconia respectively. What dosage should I give him. I am worried.

Most of the diarrhoes dont require any antibiotics. he just needs to b well hydrated with WHO ORS( pediatric). U can give other liquids as well, like Nimbu pani, coconut water, fresh fruit juices prepared at home, soups,&porridges along with his ususal diet. Pl give zinc for 15b days, keep a watch on red flag signs, Like scanty urination, excessive drowsiness, persistant vomitting, which will. need immediate medical attention
