thanks for asking
i gone through your question. your 5 month old kid is having loose motions since last 3 days . and you have given some medicine with no effect.
If i was your treating pediatrician. i would ask about how many episode of loose motions today? is that is watery? is kid is playful or dull or lethargic?
The most common cause of loose motions in infants is viral infections. viral diarrhea recover itself in 5- 7 days time. you have to just keep replace water loss by oral rehydration solution. i also advise zinc 10mg per day and lactobacillus sachets .
so i thinks not to worry if child is playful, passing uring once in 4-6 hours, . keep replacing water loss by oral rehydration solution. loose motion take about 5-7 days for recovers. there is not role of antibiotic(entamozl) in watery diarrhea. continue breast feeding .
hope I able to answer your query.
god bless your family
