Pediatrician,  's  Response
Brief answer :
No need to give metrogyl.

Detailed answer :
A 3 month baby can pass 5 to 6 stools per day and can pass stool only once in 3 to 4 days, both these things are normal and there is no need to give antibiotics in that.
In my opinion, you should stop metrogyl as it has no role in diarrhea in 3 month old baby.
In my opinion, you should give enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days. Enterogermina is a prebiotic which is used to increase gut immunity in child.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
