Suggest Remedy For Stomach Infection In A Child
Hi. I got stool culture done for my 3 month old son as he is is suffering from diarrhea on and off from past 2 months. Report says 18 to 20 pus cell, mucus flakes +++ and no salmonella, shigella and vibrio grown. It doesn't talk about E.Coli as the lab is of the opinion that E.Coli is natural flora and is found in all stool samples. Gave Walamycin and Zifi drops in past but the condition recurs. He is exclusively breastfed and now giving him Oflomac and Zioral. Pls advise.
