Hi my son who is 7 has on again off again diarrhea with unformed almost chalky look (but brown) stool with a bit of foam on top of the toilet water? no fever with this bout but has had stomach upset, diarrhea and fever on and off? He s been Rx d zantac in the past for what was thought to be GERD? Not sure if his problem is something more serious or not?
Hi, from history it seems that your son might be having some gastro-intestinal infection giving rise this problem off an on. Give him one course of Ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine for 3-5 days. Avoid giving junk food. Give him light diet for few days. Give plenty of water. Ok and take care.
