Could The Watery Green Stools And Fever Be Due To Teething?
My Baby is 1.5 Year old, Since last 15 days he is suffering from loose motions, first 10 days he suffered from watery Green stool, after looking first 3-4 days we rushed to doctor, doctor suggested us Zinkonia then Entrogermina, and then Topcef, and now his stool colour looks ok, but still stool is bit watery and sometimes a fever so Doctor said give him ViBact, So we bought it, and found its powder in a bottle, we have to add water in it and we have to keep it in fridge (as per instructions on bottle, not just cool n dry place, specifically mentioned as keep in refrigerator) and use it within 5 days (3 times a day), so we started it, now today is 3rd day of Vibact dose, but he is now suffering from cold and cough badly. Is this due to that cold dose of vibact medicine ? while before giving we keep it outside for 1/2 hr, we make it to normal temperature, then we feed it.
Are we doing anything wrong ? What should we do ? Is there any relation of teething ? As some are asking me to start Den-tonic pills.
As still he is very active and doing lots of things without stopping so doctor said, he is not sick, but this is infection.
Request you to help.

Hi there.
Thanks for writing in.
Basically vibact is also a probiotic...enterogermina is also a probiotic.
So if you are worried that the cold vibact aggravates your babys cold and cough, you can stop vibact and continue giving enterogermina.
Your doctor might be right. As generally children with active infection would show some changes in behaviour like irritability, lethargy, dull and excessively sleepy. So if your child is alert and active, eating and drinking well,there is no need to worry.
For the cold and cough...give the baby warm water to drink at regular intervals.
You can also give a teaspoon of honey .
Teething as such does not cause loose stools. But I have seen a couple of cases where in children when they are teething do have occasional loose stools. This could probably be due to the fact that they put the finger in the mouth all the time after touching unhygenic surfaces.
Hope my answer was helpful to you.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
