Suggest Treatments For Frequent Runny Tools In Child

Hello, my name is Nichole and I have a 2 year old son who passes stool 4 to 5 times a day, and they are not solid stools, they're most runny. Is this normal? He is wanting to potty train and has no problem going pee in the toilet but cant control his stools and ends up going in his diaper. HELP! Is this normal?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for following up. It seems your baby has disbiosis or infection of intestine. You should take your child to a doctor and get him examined especially stool analysis and stool culture for flora and sensitivity to antibiotics.
I would suggest to take probiotic Enterogermina 1 sashe 2 times 5 days,ORS.Try to keep the baby hydrated by giving plenty of water. If stool will worse then add antibiotic-taxim(cefixime) in dose 4mg/kg/dose 2 times during 5 days.
Take care
