Can Enterogermina,Econorm And ZND Be Given To Baby For Diarrhea?

We have a 40 days old baby and the daughter gave the following medicines for cough and cold cepodem, coscoril. The mother had cough and she was given Azee 500 and the baby started to pass loose stool for more than 25 times daily and was given Enterogermina and ZND medicine. The loose stool has not stoped even after 5 days and we did a stool test which shows PUS cells. Let us know if we can go ahead and take the following medicines advised by the doctor Zocef 125 MG syrup, Enterogermina, Econorm and ZND medicine

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The medicines are normal for baby's age. You should be worried but not too much. I hope the pus cells is not that high to be very worried. It may easily get back to normal range after this treatment.
I see similar cases amongst children who visit my clinic. I advise my patients :
-don't breastfeed during mother's antibiotic therapy;
-take antibiotic and enterogermina at least 5 days, then give to baby probiotics course for normal flora as babylac or vizylac 1/2 capsule once a day for 1 month;
-mother should also take probiotics for 1 month;
-ZND will stop diarrhea.
Start on these changes and get back to me in 2 to 3 weeks. Wish you good health.
