A nine-month-old baby has yellow diarrhea.

Patient's question:

Day three today, fever is better, having loose stools

Doctor's answer:

Prevent dehydration: From the start of the child's diarrhea, provide enough oral fluids to prevent dehydration. Breastfed infants should continue breastfeeding and increase the frequency and duration of feedings. For mixed-fed infants, ORS or other clean drinking water should be provided in addition to breastfeeding. For artificially fed infants, choose ORS or food-based fluids such as broth, rice water, or yogurt drinks, or clean drinking water.
