How To Treat Loose Motion In A 4 Months Old Child?

Hi my daughter is 4 months old. Since last 10days she is having loose motions. We've done stool test 5days back & prescribed by a doctor for Zifi100 Dry Syrup. Since last 4days we've fed her with milk food and medicine (Zifi100) as advised by doctor howevr no improvement is observed. Today when i checked Zifi100 on web i realised that it is best remedies for few other disease but not for gastrointestinal infections. Doctor has advised Norflox100 DT as an alternative now, but when i searched this on internet i found that it is not recommended safe for infants. ..the comments on stool test report says she's NUMEROUS INCLUMPS IN MUCUS....Please advise best medicines....QUERY FROM INDIA..

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Zifi works well for gastroenteritis when caused by bacterial infection.If the infection is viral which is the most common cause then Zifi itself can cause loose stools. In addition this baby is most likely having transient lactose intolerance due to viral diarrhoea.Please stop the antibiotic and keep the baby on strict breast feeding. Get stool check done for reducing substances,and if strongly positive,can change milk to a lactose free formula temporarily.
