<s>[INST] Hi..my son is 3.5 years old and has been having temperature of 102 degrees last night and passing some loose stools. I gave him a sporlac powder sachet and some tylenol. His stools are not in his control, he gets a severe cramp and then passes some really foul smelly gas with some loose motion. Can I continue to give him sporlac until I see doctor tomorrow on weekday? If yes, what should be the dosage for sachets? [/INST] Most of the diarrhoea in children is caused due to rotavirus although it could also be due to certain bacteria. The cause does not need to be treated and resolves automatically in 2-5 days. However the salt and water lost needs to be replenished using ORS in order to prevent dehydration. Tylenol will help in bringing down the temperature. Sporlac contains beneficial bacteria and can be given 1 sachet twice daily. You need not worry if the child is active and feeding well and urinary frequency is normal. </s>
