Start Cefixime for next 3 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi
The report is suggestive of infective diarrhea. Start Syp. Cefixime ( 10mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses) for next 3 days for complete recovery. Continue neutrolin B, Zinc supplement ( Zinconia or AnD) and ORS. Food being given is good for your child. Do not worry. This will improve. These are prescribed medicines, Ask your doctor to prescribe them.
