What Causes Lack Of Appetite And Frequent Bowel Movement?
My 3 month old baby hasn t been eating well. She used to eat 5oz every 3hrs. Now she is eating like 1 or 2oz and then refuses the bottle. She won t even cry for food. She has been peeing less. She used to poop once a day, now she is popping like 4 times a day, watery and mucus like, color yellow. The highest temperature has been 99.6F. She is also very gassy. What could this be?
Hi...By what you quote tt seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
