Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My daughter is 6 years old. She has a stomach ache. Her stools are a little watery. Please tell me a solution to this problem.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Watery stools imply stomach infection. That is why she has stomach pain. Usually, diarrhea persists for 3 to 4 days, please make sure the kid does not get dehydrated. Give her plenty of oral liquids like ORS, coconut water. Avoid sugary juices or liquids (they increase loose stools). If the child is dull or not taking adequate liquids or passing very less urine, please consult the doctor immediately as it implies that she is much dehydrated. Econorm sachets, one sachet morning and evening, to be mixed with a small quantity of water, for three days. Rebalanz one small sachet in 6.67 fl oz of water, and give as much as she can take.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
