I'm really worried because my 4-year-old has been having loose motions. What syrup can I give him to help with this?

A child of 4 years old suffering from loose motions can be given syrup containing Racecadotril. The recommended dosage for Racecadotril syrup in children is 1.5 mg per kg of body weight per dose, to be taken 3 times a day. It is important to consult with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.

If your 2-year-old ingested a small amount of Barrel-O-Slime, they might experience mild symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, but severe complications are unlikely; however, monitor your child closely and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following: difficulty breathing, severe vomiting, abdominal pain, or lethargy.
