Pediatrician,  's  Response
If the child is exclusively breast fed, I would not be concerned and simply continue breast feeding the baby while the medicines are given. If the child is on top feeds, I would suggest Oral rehydration solution (prepared by mixing a full small sachet in 200ml of water) and giving it repeatedly in small amounts along with the normal feeds and the medicines. The antibiotics that are being given, would also kill the normal beneficial bacteria of the child's intestines and econorm will help in replenishing the flora and would thereby normalise the stool. Do not consider that you are giving it for the stool.
