Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your new born baby have symptoms of loose motion which could be due to viral infection of body leading to acute gastroenteritis. It could be due to poor digestion, poor absorption or rapid movement through the intestines and all this leads to watery diarrhea. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take zinc supplements along with oral rehydrating solution. You should maintain the hydration of the body by taking plenty of oral fluids. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If your symptoms keeps on persisting visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. You should take antibiotic empty stomach one hour before meal.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
