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.
Hi Doctor, My 6 months old boy baby struggles in cough last 4 days, We went to local doctor, he has given augmentin anti biotic and CRM cough syrup . Then baby was in diarrhea and fever last 3 days. Today we visited same doctor, he changed zanocin anti biotic and given crocin oral drops. Baby was cried abnormally this evening. I am feared what is going on with him. please help me.
Hi,
Your 6mths old son initailly started off with an respiratory tract infection for which he was given augmentin later he had diarrhoea and antibiotic was changed to Zanocin.I guess your baby needs to be examined thoroughly for the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Augmentin can cause diarrhoea as a side effect .That could be treated with probiotics and once the medicine stopped the diarrheoa would have settled down. Investigating the stool for infection before starting zanocin would have been more appropriate.Most commonly it is seen that such symptom might have been caused by a virus which needs no antibiotics hence i would suggest get him evaluated by his pediatrician .In the mean while keep him well hydrated by giving him lots of fluids.
Bye
take Care.
