Hydration is key: Offer plenty of fluids, such as water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and breast milk (for infants). Avoid sugary drinks and juices.
Bland diet: Introduce bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet). These foods are gentle on the stomach.
Gradual reintroduction of solids: As diarrhoea improves, other foods are slowly reintroduced.
Avoid irritants: Stay away from dairy products, fatty foods, spicy foods, and high-fibre foods until symptoms subside.
Probiotics: Some studies suggest probiotics might help shorten the duration of diarrhoea. Consult your pediatrician.

Lifestyle:

Rest: Encourage your child to rest to conserve energy.
Hygiene: Proper handwashing is essential to prevent the spread of infection.
Monitor for dehydration: Watch for signs like dry mouth, fewer wet diapers, lethargy, and sunken eyes.
Consult a paediatrician: If diarrhoea persists, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, blood in stool, or severe dehydration, seek medical attention promptly.
