Suggest Treatment For Cough And Stomach Cramps In An Infant
My 3 month old colic baby had cough and was prescribed kurfis thrice a day for 5 days. But I noticed he had loose motion and stomache when given this medicine also he cried whole night due to cramps in stomache. Now my doctor has prescribe flucold for cough and carmicide and collimex for stomache. I gave him carmicide drops for stomache and he had loose motions 5 times in 5 hours with severe cramps in stomache after that. I am not sure if these cramps are due to colic or reaction of medicine or because of loose motion.
