Suggest Remedy For Persistent Diarrhea With Chest Congestion And Cold

Hello Dr, My 4 months old son is having loose motion since birth and 8-10 times in day now.We have consulted two doctors so far and they said its normal. Last week he was having chest congestion and a bit cold, so he prescribed Nesaclear and Kofarest-PD along with Ostocalcium and calshine-P.After giving above medicines, my son started loose motion very frequently where stool is very much watery. Today we consulted the same doctor, he prescribed Z & D dry syrup suspension .5 ml once a day for 10 days and Rinifol 2.5 ml a day for 3 days along with Nesaclear for twice a day for 3 days. Could you please suggest if above medicines would be helpful for faster recovery and won t have any side effects. We are also worried for his weight as he was born with 2.5 kg and now he is 5.45kg in 4th month. Thanks and Regards, Xxxxx

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your concern in depth .

* Diarrhea since birth upto 4 months , is not normal ; he needs intensive
work up with basic lab tests and ultrasound to finalise the cause .

* Recommendations at present

- Allow plenty of liquids in sessions .
- Do not give any commercial formula of protein or milk .
- Current medicines have to be continued as they will not give side
effects with dosage under medical guidance .

- Again for weight gain , there are certain basic lab tests which will be
taken care by the pediatrician on demand .

Hope this will help you for sure .
Regards .
