What Causes Water Bowel Movement In An Infant?
Hi, My baby is 4 months and 26 days. She has been passing watery stools (around 7 times, somewhat green coloured) since two days. I started Sporlac since yesterday. I gave two doses (1 dose=1/2 sachet) yesterday and 1 dose today till now. She had already passed 3 motions till now. Should I also give Enterogermina? Please advise.

Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Loose stools are viral in nature
Usually ORS and zinc are only advised.
It will take atleast 3 to 7 days to settle.
Enterogermina can be given, it is better than sporolac
Ensure your child passes atleast 6 times urine daily.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
