Infant. Green, Watery, Loose Motion. Stool Test Showed Pus And Blood Cells. Advised Bacigyl N, Enterogermina, Eubioz. Safe?
hello doctor my 9 months son is passing green watery loose motions for the past 2-3 days. I consulted a pediatrician and he advised us Furoxone, enterogermina & eubioz sachet. But all in vain. Again the doctor advised us bacigyl N with enterogermina and eubioz. Kindly help us is it safe to give these medicines. Will it work or not. Stools tests shows presence of reducing substance, pus cells 2-3 and blood cells occasionally. He also have fever around 101 F. he is mainly on breastfeeding. please also advice us so as to save him from dehydration. He already got rota virus vaccine.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
it looks like infective diarrhea
the treatment offered is alright
as the stool test shows presence of reducing substance, milk should be avoided
lactose free formula like soya bean milk or zerolac may be used instead
ORS solution 50ml after each motion may be offered to prevent dehydration
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care

Hi,
As your baby has pus cells in the stool, it means that has infection, which is being treated well by bacigyl N. The antibiotic has a slow effect (usually apearing up to a couple of days); therefore, you should wait peacefully.
To keep your child hydrated, you can use oral rehydration salts (O.R.S) and give plenty of water.
In my practice, I use Metronidazole syrup in such cases successfuly.
Next, please keep a good hygiene when handling your child's feeding, always wash your hands and the hands of your child.
In addition, I recommend mothers to use banana with yoghurt (greek style, not the yoghurt drink) for the diarrhea to stop. Crush banana (or blend it), mix with yoghurt and give to your child.
Wish fast recovery to your sweetheart!
