Child Has Frequently Upset Stomach, Stools Seems To Be Watery. What Should Be Given?
my baby is 2 years old and he is having upset stomach and defecating 3-4 times in small quantities, but the consistency of the stool is thin. Should I give him Vizylac syrup available in India ( lactic acid ) and Zo Syrup ( ofloxacin )? I have read that Zo syrup use causes hepatotoxicity , and for 3-4 months, my baby is having an upset stomach very frequently

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for writing your query.
Vizylac contains spores of lactic acid bacillus which are beneficial bacteria as they help in the process of digestion and absorption.
You can give this syrup as this is safe and helpful.
In the meantime, give sample of stool for examination. This will help in identifying infection if any.
You can give antibiotic or antiamoebic according to the reports.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
