Brief Answer:
no oflox please

Detailed Answer:
Hi,


The loose stools are not related to teething as usually attributed by general public.

It may be due to stating viral infection.

You have to give the milk ( hope breast milk) and oral dehydration fluids like electoral or electrobion as per instruction on the cover .

Give electral 1-2 oz after every lose stool.


Check whether baby is passing urine normally.


Oflox should not be given for loose stools as a routine.

It s a strong antibiotic and not good to use frequently.

Take the baby to to the nearest pediatrician.


7 months baby can be given few silos of tender coconut water now and then,curd rice may be too early still,


Wait for 2-3 days and give only breast milk only.

God bless
