<s>[INST] hi doctor my 1year old son is having loose motion for last two weeks i am given him treatment for child speaclist my baby was normal but last two day again he is having loose motion he is 5 to 7,8 time to stool in a day i am not feeding breast him because i am working women please suggest as to how can me get him morions to normalise and what to give him to eat we are very much worried [/INST] Hello, Your child is having loose motions and this is the second episode in 2 weeks. I wanted to know was your child prescribed zinc for the previous episode. If not, then please give him syrup zinc 20 mg per day for 14 days. Zinc improves the immunity of the gut and helps to prevent future episodes of gastroenteritis. Regarding his diet giving him curd/ yogurt, banana and chichi will help.  Hope that helps. Preeti </s>
