Fevers with loose motion
My 5 and half months baby got fever with loose motion (green undigested stool) 6 times in 8 hours. Every time Doctor recommend antibiotics.. till now I have given him 4th time antibiotics course. Plz suggest any alternative of antibiotics. As antibiotics have side effects ..plz advice
Hello
This age group loose stools is usually viral in nature, no antibiotics needed in general
Intact certain antibiotics have loose stools as side effects themselves
Continue exclusive breast feeding
Sporolac sachets 1/2 thrice daily
Syp zinc 20mg/5ml, give 2.5ml once daily for 14days
This should reduce the frequency of stools
If not reduced in 5 days consult nearest Pediatrician for further workup
Next Steps
Stop antibiotic and wait for 5 days
