Tot Having Frequent Loose Stools, Had Not Continued Pepsigard Dosage. Should It Be Continued?

My son was passing very loose stools since day before. The doctor prescribed pepsigard ( sucralfate and domperidone )- which I didn t use since he was doing well and the problem had subsided since the same night. Today he is having loose motions, passed stools almost 5 times since morning. should I go ahead with pepsigard? Am unable to get through to my doctor...My son is 2 years of age weighs 15 Kgs. Thanks.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
As your child is having diarrhea , you can give oral rehydrating solution sips by sips in equal amounts to the losses of water and electrolytes in stools to prevent and correct the dehydration and you can give oral probiotic after consulting your Pediatrician. Pepsigard is used in gastritis and not for loose motions and domperidone is a prokinetic drug which is used to treat vomitings.
