Suggest Treatment For Persistent Diarrhea In A Child
Question: My baby (4 months) is doing loose motion couple of times after taking feed (Nan Pro1), I guess he got cold yesterday night. I am bit confused if I give him Entrogerminia (2.5 ml Morning/Evening) along with one time Zinconia or Nutrolin-B (1 ml - 5 times a day). Please suggest. I plan to visit doc tomorrow evening,
Brief Answer:
It is normal. Nothing needs to be done about it.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that it is normal for a child of this age to pass stool 10 times a day and even once in 10 days. Due to a phenomenon called gastrocolic reflex the child may even pass stool after each feed and there is nothing to be concerned about. It needs no intervention. You can feel free to give Enterogermina, Zinconia or Nutrolin B but do not expect any improvement over what is already normal.
Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
