Suggest Treatment For Loose Motion Of A 5 Month Baby
hi doctor, my 5 month old kid is passing loose motions since last 3-4 days. frequency is 2-3 times a day. the stool passed by the kid is quite watery. i tried apple juice and pomegranate juice as a remidial measure, but still it is not working. Further would like to inform that kid is only being breast fed.
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It seems your kid is having acute watery diarrhea. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS... Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
