Abstract
The passing of more than three times loose or watery stools in a twenty-four-hour period is considered to be diarrhoea, conferring to the WHO (World Health Organization) [1]. It is frequently a sign of a gastrointestinal system infection brought on through a number of viral, parasites, and bacterial species. The body is deprived of the water and salts it needs to survive for a number of days [2, 3], which can lead to severe dehydration, long-term effects it causemortality also [4].There are 3 main types of infant diarrhea, and each one has a different treatment plan because it can be fatal [5]. Acute watery diarrhea in an infected person is linked to considerable fluid loss and quick dehydration. Visible blood in the stools distinguishes bloody diarrhea, often known as dysentery.
