Suggest Medication For Diarrhea Which Resulted After Consuming Milk Product To Which She Is Allergic
Hello, my 16 month old daughter is allergic to milk, and she ate something that may contain milk as it reads on the package. This was 2 days ago, she is still experiencing diarrhea today. It is yellowy green poop and more mushy than liquid. Suggestions? Thanks
Hi..Can understand your concern.As per your query about diarrhoea after consumption of milk or lactose which your baby is allergic...Some babies are allergic to lactose by birth while some babies develop intolerance to lactose after birth due to some reason so if your baby is allergic you should take extra precautions while feeding or before giving her anything as it may cause serious allergic reactions.Many of the preserved food contains dairy products so you have to be careful...As diarrhoea is still present after 2 days, you should continue giving her ORS to be remain hydrated and give her cereals food like moong dal khichdi,mashed boiled potatoes,yoghurt can be given .Give her in frequent sips rather than a large amount togther.Symptoms will resolve itself by time. But if it looks like any abdominal pain ,vomiting ,skin rashes or foul smelling stool or if baby looks lethargic you should consult a pediatrician for proper investigations like stool test and madication.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
