Loose motion
My daughter is 15 months old, for the past 5 days her motion is loose and poops 4 to 5 times a day but she is very normal in food intake, sleep , play and pee. She takes normal home made food as adults eat and drinks filtered and boiled water. No medications taken currently. Does she needs to be taken to hospital? Any medications required?
