Suggest Remedy For Digestion Problem

My six month old daughter is sick and is passing stool with unusually frequency (3 to 4 times a day). Some non medical people including my mother has told me that she has tash: soar in the stomach which I understand is a common condition young babies suffer due to eating sweet or sugary food. She s drinking Lactogen 1 milk mixed with cereal. I am started giving her as medication metronidazole (flagyl) syrup but the toileting has not stopped. can you advice what s best I can give her for this condition.

Hi, You should not give antibiotics without pediatrician's guidance . You should start ORS 50 ml with each loose stool . Also continue breast feeding . The loose stools will subside in 1 to 2 days . In case the frequency increases report to emergency services immediately .

Will be happy to review .
