Frequent motion
Hi All
My 16 months son is frequently doing normal motion for every 2 hours, he is active and having food normally and stools are very normal.
Can you kindly suggest if this is normal or suggest if any medicine is required.
Thanks
Venkat
Hi sir,
An 1.4yrs old child passing stools fr 12times a day is surely abnormal though the consistency of his stools is normal,frequency s on a higher side...
It could be a GI infection (stomach infection)...
Next Steps
we can use probiotics like bifilac to overcome this problem.
1/2 sachet thrice a day fr 1 week...
Probiotics are available in foods (such as yogurt, milk, juices, soy beverages)
Health Tips
Probiotics contain different types of micro-organisms such as yeast (saccharomyces boulardii) and bacteria (such as lactobacillus, bifidobacterium).
Some conditions (such as antibiotic use, travel) can change the normal balance of bacteria/yeast.
Probiotics are used to improve digestion and restore normal flora.
