Is It Safe And Required If Doctor Has Prescribed Z&D, Domstal Drops, Nebulization To Child For Diarrhoea, Cough And Cold?

Baby is around 5 months old. Initially suffering with loose motions and fever. Doc suggested to use domstal drops, Z&D and crocin to control fever. Stool test (done after 4 days) and urine passing are normal. 3-4 days later baby has got cough n cold also (while coughing and burping baby is vomiting). Doc has suggested to give bricanyl and nebulization (with livolin) in addition to domstal drops & Z&D . X-ray and CBC are also normal. Now 5-6 days has been passed....Baby has got 20-30% relief from cough n cold but started doing loose motions again....feed is also got half. On consulting, Doc suggested to stop bricanyl and use advert forte syrup for 5 days with other medicine (Z&D, domstal, nebulization). I m worried now. Is all this treatment is good/enough and required?....is there any thing else we can do?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for consulting in Healthcare. Your doctor prescribed to your baby Z&D syrup, it is a Zink Sulphate formulation indicated as therapy along with ORS in the management of Acute Diarrhea. That"s why you should add ORS (Oral Rehydration Salt), try to keep your baby hydrated with plenty of water or ORS .Advent Forte Syrup contents the generic drug Amoxicillin,give it after meal, this antibiotic will kill bacteria in intestine . For increasing effect i recommend you probiotic enterogermina- 1 sashe 1 time 7 days before meal, enterogermina contains spores bacillus clausii,which is part of the normal interstinal microflora, it is necessary for the prevention of the changes in the intestinal flora.

Wishing you speed recovery
