Child Has Green Stools. Taken Zanocin And Taxim. Confused?

Dear Doc, My baby is completing 8 months in couple of days(23.09.13). Her birth weight is 2.2kg (sga baby, full term). She is exclusively breastfed for 6 months. Started weaning with ragi porridge and had to formula feed her. I started giving nan pro. after she vomitted couple of times,with doctors advice (in singapore) i started giving Similac total comfort stage 1 ( lactose free formula) which was gentle for her tummy n she was gaining weight adequately. We gradually introduced similac total comfort stage 2 in the end of 7 months. She was still doing fine. But the stools appeared firmer (just like tooth paste coming out of tube consistency) and sometimes green. It is usually once or twice a day.  I had to come to india on aug 24th. On 1.09.2013 she started passing looser watery stool. I didnt want to delay as she passed stool thrice in 3 hrs. I took her to doctor she was 6.7 kg at that time. She was active and fine. Doctor told it looks like viral infection and gave Zanocin and Taxim o . He told to give it for 6 days though the dysentry seems controlled. After completing the dose her stools still was not back to normal. It was either watery or semi liquid. And she still passed 6-7 times a day. So went back to dr and was advised to give enterogermina for 3 days once in mrng and 10 days of zincris. Also advised to give isomil. ( i didnt understand y a soy milk when i m already using lactose free milk!) so completed enterogermina, zincris dose, still with isomil 120 ml  three times,rice porridge/ nestum (twice a day) and still the stool is watery/semi liquid/MUCUSY.. And she passes 4-7 times a day. Its 21 days now..her weight is 6.5 kg. stools are still not normal. Confused as in what to do? I have a gastro doctor friend who is suggesting 1/2 tablet sporlac for 10 days and aristozyme ( digestive enzyme ) ... What is the difference between enterogermina and sporlac?! Kindly help. Regards

Pediatrician 's  Response
this the age of babies acquiring diarrhoea.since 21 days have passed so get a stool routine and microscopic done of your baby.continue zincris for 14 days.give normal diet to eat to your baby.plz maintain hygiene.wash hand properly before giving food.maintain hydration of the baby properly.
Both contains spores of normal microbial flora of human intestine.
if you are giving sporolac continue with it or you can use econorm sachet twice daily with half cup water or little curd for 7 days along with zincris as advised for 14 days.get the test done and thn antibiotic will be added according to the report.
