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.
Hi, My 13 month old has been vomiting and having diarrhea off and on for the past 6-7 months. We have tried different milks-recent change from Soy milk to Lactaid milk, we thought his vomiting was due to a soy intolerance, his pediatrician said it was ok. 2 weeks ago he had pneumonia and a few days ago he got diagnosed with severe bronchitis and a middle ear infection.
He has also had 5 ear infections in the past.
He also has developmental issuses and he cannot walk or crawl.
He recieves PT for walking/crawling help and OT for fedding issues since he cannot eat table food yet.
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. He has syndrome of malabsorption due enzyme insufficiency. It seems after antibiotic therapy. You should give child's stool analysis, stool culture for flora and sensitivity to antibiotics;stool for ova and cysts;do ultrasound of liver,pancreas. I suggest - enzyme therapy-for 2 months; - probiotic therapy-Darolac Z 1 capsule daily for 1 month; - zentel-for profilaxis of helmintiasis . You can discuss this with your treating Doctor. Start on these changes and get back to me in 2 to 3 months. Wish your baby good health.
