When are loose motions dangerous for a child?
Loose motions become dangerous when a child shows signs of dehydration: fewer wet nappies, no tears, dry mouth, sunken eyes, unusual sleepiness or refusing to drink. Blood in the stool, vomiting everything, or diarrhoea lasting more than a few days also need a doctor. ORS and continued feeding are the first steps at home.

Questions parents ask
Should I stop milk during diarrhoea?
Usually no. Keep breastfeeding and normal feeding. Dr. Zohaib will tell you if any change is needed.
How do I make ORS correctly?
Mix one sachet in the exact amount of clean water written on the packet. Too little water makes it unsafe.
Does my child need a drip?
Only for moderate to severe dehydration or if they can't keep fluids down.
