Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. You are talking about diarrhea in a 4-month-old child. You have not indicated whether your baby is exclusively breastfed or is on milk substitutes. Usually it is caused by a virus called rotavirus. In case of feeding with milk substitutes, irrespective of how well you sterilize the containers, there is always a scope of contamination. It is therefore quite common for bottle fed or spoon-fed babies to have recurrent episodes of diarrhea. Breastfeed is therefore always the best. In case of milk substitutes, ORS needs to be given in case of diarrhea. In case your baby is breastfed, continue breastfeeding as it is better than ORS. This is important so that the child does not lose salt and water from his body. The frequency of passing urine will indicate whether the feeds are adequate. Continue the medication prescribed by your doctor for the prescribed duration. Hope I have been able to ad Chat Doctor.  Feel free to revert in case of any other further queries.
