But it s not getting improved and sometime she is passing motion after having Bifilac milk. What can be the reason, which diagnosis we should follow ? Regards, Aditya
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of frequent bowel movements which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis, giardiasis, poor metabolism of body, lactose intolerance, and food poisoning. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give child proper rest and avoid intake of any sharp, spicy and oily food. You should take over the counter anti histamine twice a day like benadryl , take antacid after every meal , take small and frequent meal. You should take oral rehydrating solution in diet. You should avoid lying down immediately after having food. If condition doesn't get well then consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole along with laxative.
