What Is The Treatment Of Green Stools And Diarrhea ?
my baby (6 months) has dark green stools, some very mucosy. he had a virus about 1 month ago and then diarreah about 2 weeks ago. he has horrible nappy rash and the green poos smell quite sickly sweet. he is mixed feeding - some formula and some breast feeds.
hi SO sorry for your kid to have that.This happens mostly in the weaning period as your baby is getting adapted to complementary feeds.YOUR baby had Dysentery from your description which needs to be treated witha antimicrobial- cefixime. The Most important thing is to give her plenty of ORSfluids for each stool(25-50ml/stool) to prevent dehydration.Give her Zinc syrup 5ml for 14 days along with a probiotic like Enterogermina which are palatable.For nappy rash, pleaseavoid nappies and apply a zinc oxide cream to keep it dry.Hope this is helpul and ready to help you further
