Suggest Treatment For Loose Motion Of A 10 Month Baby

Hi My son is 10 months old now. He is suffering from loose motions and has been advised to give O2 syrup. But we find it very difficult to administer it as he vomits it out immediately. We have tried to give him with honey as well but its the same. Could you please help.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking.
I gone through your question and I understand your concern. your 10 month old son is suffering from loose motions. The most common cause of loose motion isviral and it take about 3 to 5 days to recover. we need oral rehydration solution to prevent dehydration and tablets 20 MG per day. In my opinion there is no need to give you O2 syrup because it is antibiotic and it has no effect on viral diarrhoea and the taste of O2 is very bitter so it is very difficult to give so give ORS and Zinc and wait to recover.
thanks. hope I answer your question
