Suggest Treatment For Child Suffering From Coughing And Lack Of Appetite
hi! my one and half year child was suffering from fever so doctor prescribed amoxyciciline syrup with metacin drops and Axbex multivitamin syrup for three days. the fever is gone but the child has lost appetite. we are trying alfa-alfa homeopathic syrup but from yesterday he is having loose motions. For few days he is coughing also so we are giving tixylix cough syrup also.
Hi...Amoxycillin can cause some amount of diarrhoea and any illness while in recovery phase can cause some loss of appetite. You need not worry about diarrhoea. 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. 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
