Hydration is key: Give Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) after every loose stool acc to the weight of baby.
• Continue feeding: Continue breastfeeding or formula. Do not stop feeds.
• Zinc supplementation: Give Zinc syrup (like Zinconia/Z&D drops) – dose is usually 10–20 mg once daily for 10–14 days (based on age).
•. Probiotics (like Enterogermina, Darolac, or Econorm) – usually 1 vial/sachet once or twice daily.
Next Steps
Avoid:
• Antibiotics unless prescribed.
• Antidiarrheal medications like loperamide – never safe for babies.
⸻
See a paediatrician If:
• Baby is less than 6 months old.
• Has fever or blood in stool.
• Showing signs of dehydration (dry mouth, sunken eyes, no tears, low urine).
• Vomiting repeatedly or refuses to feed.
Health Tips
Kindly mention age/weight of baby , If you share your baby’s age and weight, I can guide you on more specific dosage.
