Pediatric Diarrhea Precautions

My child, 10 months old, has diarrhea with milk curds in the stool. We have stopped using formula milk and switched to lactose-free milk, and have also taken probiotics. The child’s mental state is still good, but there is less urine and it is yellow, suggesting mild dehydration. I want to give the child ‘Oral Rehydration Salt Powder (2)’, but I can’t find the type three, and I’m not sure if this product has side effects. What precautions should I take? The instructions say to stop using it if there is less urine or no urine, but isn’t dehydration associated with less urine? Should I give the child this medicine for preventive work and treatment of mild dehydration?
