Baby having mushy stool

2024-06-24 12:11:25
Hello Doc, my Daughter is 2 years old, and she is having loose stools (mud like consistency) or gravy like consistency for the past  4-5 days. In the Bristol stool chart it is like type 6 mushy stool .  She is  passing these stools like 3-4 times in a day. Day before Yesterday we gave her Econorm sachet in the afternoon and gave electrolyte solution, a slight control was seen the next day , she passed only twice in whole day but today again she passed same kind of stool thrice in 8 hours. Econorm was given once only.  She is having all foods and no fever is seen till date . What possible medications should we give to get complete relief. Thanks in Advance..
