Diarrhoea is watery, frequent stools. In children the real danger is losing water and salts — not the count of trips to the toilet.

Most episodes are viral and settle with ORS and feeding. We watch the eyes, urine and energy, and we do not stop breast milk or everyday food.

Sips of oral rehydration after every stool keep the child out of hospital.
Rice, curd, banana and milk as usual — starving the gut slows recovery.
Viruses are common. Antibiotics help only selected bacterial pictures.
The younger the child, the faster dehydration arrives.
Sunken eyes, no tears, dry mouth and no urine for six hours are danger signs.
Blood, high fever or a very sick look moves us toward dysentery care.
Zinc for the recommended days cuts the next episode in many children.
Soap after toilet and before food stops it spreading to siblings.
We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.
Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.
A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.
Go urgently if the child is drowsy, has no urine, is vomiting everything, or has blood with high fever.
