Hello,
No need for Zanocin (ofloxacin ) antibiotic for 2 months baby. stop it. continue breast milk.
The stool is an excreta and it will contain bacteria of course. you can give probiotic sachets mixed with warm water/milk. No need for antibiotics at present. If you see blood in the stool only you can give antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Rajmohan, Pediatrician
