Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi , I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

There is no need to add cepodem , these medicines are enough , more important is you give oral rehydration solution and also add zinc . Most diarrhoea s usually take 3-7 days to resolve . Give him plenty of liquids to keep proper hydration . Addition of more antibiotics is not going to decrease duration of loose motions ,so my suggestion to you is not to add cefopem unless prescribed or advised by your doctor .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions

Take care.
