No medication needed as of now. 5 month old child can normally pass semisolid stools upto 3 to 4 times a day. Consult if the stools are watery in consistency or if you see blood or worms in stools. Antibiotics given for longer duration can themselves predispose to diarrhea by destroying the normal intestinal flora
Health Tips
Avoid bottle- feeding if you have practice of feeding with bottle. Prefer breast feeding or wati- spoon feeding over it.
