Shall I Give Sporlac Powder For Loose Motion Of My 11 Months Old Baby?
Hi. My 11 months old had got loose motions for last 2 weeks. Dr said it was stomach flue and treated him for the same. He got better since Monday. On Thursday I fed him little banana and his loose motions have started again. Can the symptoms return? I have sporlac powder. Will that help? Please advise urgently
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. In the meantime you can certainly supplement the diet with the sporlac powder. It will help. As you know Sporlac provides active cultures of healthy micro nutrients which helps restore the normal balance of bacteria in the colon.
It is also very important to consider the hydration status of the baby. Do your best to make sure adequate fluids and foods are taken in. This will help avoid dehydration. Does he have any blood or mucus in the stool. In such a case this is called dysentery and antibiotics may be required. Is he passing watery stool? If he is having watery stool several times then he should be monitored for dehydration.
Oral rehydration solution or any other solution containing salt and sugar should be given. Zinc (Z&D) prescribed by your doctor will be useful. Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
