Hi, my 19 months old daughter has loose motions for the last three days. The lady two days it was quite frequent (7 times per day), waterish and green in color. I started giving her enterogermina (2 sachets per day) and BRAT diet. Her stool frequency had decreased but still loose and greenish. We did a stool lab test and the results showed 20-25 pus cells. Dr prescribed Bacigyl n for 5 days twice a day and enterogernina for three days. Im worried about giving my daughter antibiotics and would like to know another opinion if it s necessary. We also decided to do another stool test and awaiting the results. Thanks
