Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

Some antibiotics like Amoxicillin can cause diarrhea. Give ORS solution to your baby. If she is not vomiting, then probably she would not need intravenous fluids. Limit milk and feed more semisolid cereals. Milk can aggravate diarrhea. Add probiotic sachets like Reflora-R. Make sure baby is not having a fever, abdominal pain, bloody stools, or baby is becoming lethargic. Under such circumstances, you will need to admit baby.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
