liquid medicine for loose motion - #18533
I am really worried about my kid, he’s just 5 and he's dealing with loose motions for the past couple days. It all started after he had some street food while we were out last week. He had a blast but now, he can’t keep anything down and runs to the bathroom every few minutes. The doc gave us some liquid medicine for loose motion, but it doesn’t seem to be working as fast as I hoped. I mean, he’s drinking the medicine without a fuss, but he still complains about tummy aches and stuff. I keep reading that some liquids can help, but what if this liquid medicine for loose motion isn’t the right one? I’m just stressing a bit, cause he also becomes super dehydrated, and I’m not sure if we need to try another medicine or if there’s like a specific diet we should stick to with this kinda thing? I thought maybe bananas and rice could help, but then I read mixed things about that too. I guess I just want to know what I should do next with the liquid medicine for loose motion — should we wait it out or push for something else? Really appreciate any advice, feeling a bit lost here.
