A nutritious diet that does not cause diarrhea to worsen Supplementaryvitamins and minerals Antimicrobials to treat diagnosed infections
Treat in the Hospital: Children with serious systemic infection Children with signs of dehydration Infants below 4 months of age
Prevent or treat dehydration Identify and treat specific infections Give a nutritious diet Give supplementary multivitamins and minerals Monitor response to treatment
