Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My grand daughter is 23 months and has had diarrhea for several days has a little cough and runny nose and seems tired alot of the time. She is a very good natured gal and seems to deal with whatever is going on with her. She was treated with antibiotics about a month ago for cough and congestion and a slight ear infection. She at this point won t eat anything other than a bottle. What is your opinion and possible suggestions on what we can do to help her through this.
hi, diarrhoea can occur in children due to acute gastroenteritis, stomach infection. Associated cough can be due to common cold. In diarrhoea, the main thing that we have to take care is to prevent dehydration. give more fluid to child to prevent dehydration. give ORS solution to child. pre biotics like enterogermina ampule should be given once a day for 3 days to increase intestinal immunity. If diarrhea persist, then antibiotic needs to be started. And then examination by doctor should be done to assess the dehydration, for common cold you can give cough syrup like syrup chericof 3 times a day for 3 days. Take care.
