Hi dear

Welcome to the platform of Health Catre Magic.

As you have narrated the symptoms , it appear to be that the child is suffering with some GIT infection like amoebic dysentry. But the symptoms are recurring probably because of incomplete therapy.

Stool routine/microscopic examination and culture/sensitivity investigation is quite important to know the exact bug and the exact drug to treat the child effectively.

Imperically we can start the syrup of metronidazole and ofloxacin, but with proper doses and duration completely eradicate the infection.

Hope the query is answered.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

I can understand your dilemma. Syrup ofloxacin is available and you can give your daughter the syrup. Kindly discuss with your doctor and give her the dose appropriate to her weight.

As loose motions are still persisting you should get a stool routine examination done and, if required, you may have to give your daughter an anti-amoebic treatment.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,

Rajiv K Khandelwal

Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

O2 medication is available in suspension also so you can ask the doctor to change it to syrup.

In addition give an oral probiotic such as lactobacillus or saccharomyces sachet once daily for 3 days.

Continue junior lanzole as prescribed by the doctor.

If the stool is watery, give oral rehydration solutions.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
