Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Loose motions with green color and soiling pampers with extreme smell can be due to the following reasons:
Severe intestinal infection.
Not responding to Fibergel, Amoxicillin and fever medicines.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get the stool examined as well as the blood tests.
X-ray of the abdomen and ultrasonography.
Get a prescription for another antibiotic active against intestinal infection.
Add-on Metronidazole, probiotics.
Get injectable fluids and antibiotics if required.
Soft bland diet.
Continue medications for fever if needed.
Use only boiled and cooled water.
Electrolyte balance to be maintained.
