Loose motions are mostly due to viral diarrhea. They can last for a week or more. We have to mainly prevent dehydration and provide nutrition. If the child is active and has not lost significant weight, there is nothing to worry about. Please visit a pediatrician for check up

Hello there, I suppose it's just coincidence. Treat your baby for diarrhea. Give ORS , dilute one small sachet in 200 ml water and give over 24 hrs , continuous. Discard after 24 hrs and make fresh. Give sachets as prescribed. Make sure baby is hydrated well. You can give zinc supplements as well for quick recovery. Do Consult online and get prescribed for proper medication details.
Watch for danger signs
Dull
Urine output less than 4 times.
If yes, visit nearby hospital

I don't think it has anything to do with deworming
It's just a co incidence. Plus give ors 100 - 200 ml after each loose stool.
If the frequency has reduced, it's a good sign. They are usually viral and take about 7-10 days sometimes to resolve.
Keep checking for urine output. That's just important.

Hi
There is no link between loosestool and deworming so don’t worry..
For loosestool continue with the medication as prescribed by your doctor
Just one thing give him Ors / coconut water / lemon water / to prevent dehydration ..
If he is accepting well active and playful then nothing to worry just be watchful on urine count ..
