Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 1 year old who has been passing stool frequently for the last 48 hours, not responding to Enterogermina, nutrolin B and Zinc syrup. Same issue in April was solved by Gramogyl, means there wan an infection.
I would advise you to have stool tested and show the report to your Pediatrician, who will start proper antibiotic if there is an infection and will be effective.
Continue the medicines the baby is already on. Watch for any dehydration and get treated properly.
