6 yrs old passing stools multiple times
My 6+ years old daughter had loose motions for a day. Doctor had suggested zinconia 5 ml once a day, rantac 5 ml twice a day and enterogermina repsule twice a day. She's been taking medicine for 3 days now.
Her loose motions are better since yesterday, but she's still passing motions multiple times a day. Although stools are solid/soft and not watery, she's still passing motions 6-7 times a day.
Is this a sign of recovery or something to worry about? Her appetite has also improved and she's eating better than last 2 days. She's active and looks healthy although a little weak from recent diarrhoea.
Please guide if I should consult doctor again and investigate further or wait for a few days

Hi. What is very important is hydration of child. For every loose stool atleast 100ml ors must be given. Because he is improvung in terms of activity you can wait with proper hydration
