Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for the question.
It seems the child is suffering from intestinal infection. Its almost five days since antibiotic was started.
Needs to visit the doctor again and get investigated for the causative organism.
If he is breast fed add half sachet of lactobacilli (sporlac) in expessed milk and give him. repeat three times a day. This will help to establish intestinal flora back to normalcy.
If top fed then check if cleansing and sterilization of utensils and personal hygiene of the feeding person is up to the mark.
