Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

You have not mentioned the age of your daughter. It is very common for neonates to pass a motion after every breast feed. Presuming your daughter to be less than 4 weeks I am not worried about the frequency as long as she is passing urine 5-6 times in a day.

In case she has infective diarrhoea for which the medication mentioned by you have been prescribed, it shall take 48-72 hours for the antibiotics to act. If there is no improvement then get a stool routine examination done.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
