She is breast fed little due to limited milk production. We are giving feed externally also (Lactodex lactogen1). We are giving ORS since yesterday. What else shall be given. Please help. Rgds Mathew

Hello,
I went through your query and understood your baby's problem.
As your baby fed with lactodex lactogen, infection of the bowel is more
Iikely to occur. Treatment for diarrhea is ORS which you have already started. I suggest you to continue the same for next few 2 to 3 days. If it doesn't subside it's better to visit a pediatrician.
I assure you that there is nothing to worry much.
You can always contact me if you have any other queries.
Regards,
Dr. Prathap
