Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea In Child

Hi my 15 month old has just recovered from a stomach bug but still has diarrhea a week later, i have noticed today that when she drinks her stomach bubbles, she shows no sign of pain or discomfort but it sounds really uncomfortable? Any idea what this could be please?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, since your child had a diarrhoeal episode currently and is presently having those episodes of loose stools, the bubbling sound is actually the hyperactive intestinal activity which is causing the dairrhoea. In diarrhoea, bowel activity and bowel sounds both increases. Give yor child zinc supplementation in form of Syrup Zincolife 5 ml once a day for 14 days. If you have given a course of antibiotic, then dont give it further. Otherwise, Give her syrup Oflox-OZ for 5 days. Take care to provide her with adequate electrolytes through ORS powder. Keep her bottom dry to avoid rashes. She should be fine in a couple of days .
Thans and regards.
