Is it serious that my 1.8-year-old baby is refusing to eat or drink and has watery stools again just a month after being hospitalized for a similar issue, what causes these frequent episodes of runny poop, and how will the prescribed Econorm sachet help him?
Refusing to drink combined with watery stools can lead to dehydration, so it is important to have your baby evaluated by your pediatrician promptly. Frequent loose stools can happen due to lingering gut sensitivity, recurring infections, or temporary bacterial imbalances after illness. The prescribed Econorm sachet contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast probiotic. It helps restore healthy gut flora, strengthens the digestive system, and reduces the duration of diarrhea. Please focus on offering small, frequent sips of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) to keep him hydrated, and seek immediate medical care if he becomes very lethargic or cannot retain fluids.
