A member asked:

Dysentery in children below 2 years. what are the remedy and precautions to take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a pediatrician: Dehydration, depletion of electrolytes, dissemination of the organism beyond the lumen of the gut, damage to the intestinal tract. Much depends on what you are calling 'dysentery' and the causative organism. See a pediatrician and hope baby stays well.
