Group A (GA) will receive anti secretory 1.5mg/kg/dose, three doses in 24 hours along with oral rehydration, while Group B (GB) will receive a single dose of bovine immunoglobulins. Response to treatment will be assessed by recording the frequency of loose stools after 72 hrs. Data will be collected through a structured proforma.

It is a randomized clinical trial that will be conducted at Children Hospital PIMS, Islamabad over the period of 6 months. Sample size is calculated using World Health Organization (WHO) calculator, keeping confidence level 95%, level of significance 5%, power of the test 80%,anticipated population proportion 1: 84%, anticipated population proportion 2: 93%, which turn out to be 30.Consecutive non probability sampling technique will be used. Children 1-12 years both male and female visiting/admitted in Children Hospital PIMS with acute diarrhea of less than 15 days duration will be enrolled in the study after taking informed consent from the parents.

Data will be collected through a structured proforma.

All data will be analyzed using latest SPSS version. Quantitative variables such as age, time will be presented as means and standard deviations. Qualitative variables such as age groups, sex, recurrence of seizures and efficacy will be measured as frequency and percentages. Effect modifiers like age, gender will be controlled by stratification. Post stratification chi-square test will be applied keeping p value ≤0.05 as significant.
