Suggest Medicine For Baby Suffering From Loose Motion
Hello docter, Our baby is 2mnths old and i delivered the baby by cezarian and he was in machine for 8days so i was not able to breastfeed him. Now he is having loose motion because we have changed his some portion of feeding by powdered milk (dexolac) to cow s milk. Could u please help me which medicine will be good for him.
Hi...It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
