Suggest Remedy For Viral And Kidney Infection
My one year old baby has recently been diagnosed with a viral and kidney infection. She was started on monotrim and then changed to augmentin Duo, she is now passing dark green diarrhoea and has occasion high temperatures, does she need review now or when she finishes the course of antibiotics?

Hi.... looks like your kid is having antibiotic induced diarrhoea. Usually you need not worry if the kid is active otherwise. I will tell you the danger signs of dehydration so that you can be more assured. Dehydration signs or low urine output, lethargy, sunken eyes, dry tongue and expansible skin. If these are there she might require intravenous fluids, otherwise you need not worry. I suggest using probiotics along with zinc supplements.
