Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello sir, my son is 8 months now started 2 days ago,we came home from hosur to theni for a function.for the past 4 days he going motion for 5 times per day.morning and evening he s going normally but in the mean time his motion s very watery.went to doctor he gave zoxakind,econorm pachet and zincovit syrup and ornoderm cream.can I know the reason what happened to my son?
Hi...It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. 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. There is no need to use antibiotics (Zoxakind) unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea. 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. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron as prescribed by your paediatrician. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
