Hi...Can understand your concern....As per your query about loose stools and gas in an infant of 6 month can be a cause of stomach infection which usually happens at this age when there is irritation in their gums due to which they try to keep toys and other things in mouth..Antibiotics like ofloxacin with ornidazole will be helpful and you can give it twice a day after consulting your paediatric doctor..Along with it probiotic or lactobacillus need to be given to maintain the gut flora.ORS with zn syrup need to be given 3-4 times..You can give him easy digesting foods like curd rice or khichdi..Avoid milk or food formulas for few days...I hope the information helps you..Take care.
