Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. It seems that your child is suffering from a gut infection. I would recommend you to take the following measures:
1. Start her on Syp. Ornof ( ofloxacin + ornidazole ) for next 3 days. This is a prescription drug.
It's a combination drug to clear bacterial and parasitic infection of the gut.
2. Start her on enterogermina sachets twice daily for next7 days. These are probiotics which will help to restore her healthy gut flora.
3. Syp. Zinconia or ZnD 5 ml once daily for next 2 weeks. Zinc will help her to recover.
4. Keep her well hydrated by oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups, Buttermilk etc. Avoid lactulose for now.
5. Syp. Acetaminophen or Meftal P can be given for fever spikes.
6. Give her Syp. Meftal Spas for stomach pain but don't give more than three times in a day.
Hopefully this will help you. For further questions, you may contact me.
Take care.
