Hi,

Thank you for your query.

If the antibiotics are not helping control the diarrhoea in your son then we need to find a cause for it. You need to:
1. Get a stool routine test done.
2. Ensure feeding hygiene is maintained, especially bottle hygiene if being top fed.
3. Ensure proper hydration.
If you are breast feeding then continue doing so. At times prolonged use of antibiotics can cause diarrhoea. It shall be advisable to discuss with your doctor the possibility of discontinuing the antibiotics and just putting your son on probiotics.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,

RKK

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Is your child exclusively breastfed?
Are you giving any bottle feeding?
Diarrhea is uncommon in exclusively breastfed infants is uncommon and it is common in bottle fed babies because of top feeding, contamination while handling.
Continue the medication as advised by your Pediatrician and you can add probiotic and zinc after consulting your doctor.
Continue frequent breastfeeding, give sips of low osmolar ORS like Pedialyte sips, monitor hydration by activity, urine output.
If loose motions are persisting consult again and evaluate with stool investigations like routine, culture and for reducing substances.
Hope I have answered your query.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Is your baby breast fed or bottle fed?
It is common for breast fed babies to pass stools more frequently due to increased gastrocolic reflex.
If it is not infective in nature there is no use of antibiotics.
I suggest you to maintain her hydration.
Give feeding more frequently.
Give her oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stools.
Give probiotic like lactobacillus for 3 to 4 days and zinc for 14 days .
Monitor her for features of dehydration;lethargy,decreased urination.refusal of feeds and in case you observe any get her evaluated by pediatrician.

Wishing your baby good health.
God bless.
