Can I Give Her Enterogermina Bottles And Colic Aid/Domstal?
Hi, My 2.3 years toddler is having stomach discomfort. Last weekend she was good occasionally with belches in between. I gave her boiled and cooled ajwain water on monday. Later she had semi solid motions and started showing signs of restlessness. She was crying inconsolably. Gave her cyclopam syrup. She slept after that. On Tuesday I started giving her light food like sabudana, Curd rice but she vomited. Fed her mashed apple. For the rest of the day, she seemed dull. She is normally active in nature. On Wednesday fed her idli but again in the evening she started turning fussy and refused any intake. She has not passed motion Can I give her enterogermina bottles and colic aid/ domstal. . Kindly suggest.. sorry for the very lengthy post.

Hi...she doesn't require either Colicaid or enterogermina or domstal. She's recovering form viral diarrhea.
Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.
