7 Months Baby Boy Suffering From Loose Motion
My 7 months baby boy is suffering from loose motions (more than 10 times a day) since last 2 weeks. I have consulted to Doctors but he is not yet recovered. They are giving him Basigyl N and Dolopar 125 Suspension. Kindly suggest me some effective medicines/syrups and how to cure him.

Hi,
It is best to avoid bottle feeds during diarrhoea. Include home-made fresh curds in your baby's diet. Give plenty of fluids to replenish the fluid loss. If your baby passes 20 ml stool, feed him 40 ml ORS solution, or juice, or soup, or thin dal soup, rice gruel etc.
If your baby seems dull, listless, drowsy, tired, with skin showing loss of elasticity and sagging, immediately take him to the hospital.

hi
first of all provide all these details
whether it is watery/semisolid/bloody that is important .
if it is associated with fever, vomiting,and other systemic sign.
and is there dehydration associated with it or not.
just maintain hydaration by giving low osmolarity ORS. CHECK adequancy of urine output. and do the CBC, STOOL ROUTINE LAB TEST

hi welcome to Health Care Magic,
please take your child to a good hospital. he needs a complete eveluation. he has persistent diarrhea which is not common. so you might need to get him admitted & get him treated. stop treating him at home. tkcr
