Is It Safe To Use Ecotect In A Baby Suffering From Frequent Green, Loose Motions And Nausea?

Hi,

My baby girl is 5 months old, and she has been passing stool very frequently for past 2 days and which is now turned to loose motions. We thought its normal because she may be having teething problem these days, but I observed that the stools are now colored to green and she make face for vomit (which hasn't come out yet). We are suggested to use Ecotect (Sachet from Searle), Is it OK to use that? Since, Searle (manufacturing company) doesn't recomend it for children under 1 year age.

Hi,


Yes you are correct.


This is not recommended for kids less than 1 year as per manufacturing company.



This is called probiotic..


This is not the treatment for diarrhoea,rather like a supplement.

There are specific probiotics for kids which you can ask for.



Take care
