How Can Diarrhea In An Infant Be Treated?

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

Nothing to worry you may give above antibiotic twice a day for five days. But if you observe any rash or itching or pain abdomen you may discontinue. Still have queries please feel free to ask.
