Hi

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A 10-year-old child's average weight is 30 kg. Hence, I suggest the following medicine. Consult your doctor, discuss with him/her and take medication with concern.

Give him half tablet Norflox TZ (Norfloxacin, Tinidazole and Lactobacillus) and twice a day for three days, Syp Zn 20 (5 ml /20 mg - zinc) 5 ml once a day for 14 days, Sporlac sachet one sachet bd for five days and ORS 200 ml per loose stool (oral rehydration solution).

In diet give coconut water, curd, and banana.
