Loose motion
Hello doc,Good day !I was checking for my daughter (7years old ) for vomiting in Practo ,her vomiting is fine now but suddenly she developed with loose motion ,(not frequently)but while she is doing urinating she used have a latrine a little ..which medicines I need to give now
Syp Ondem, 7.5ml
3 times a day
For 2 days
Ors
Econorm sachet
Twice a day
For 3 days
Syp Cyclopam 5ml
Sos
For stomach pain
Syp Calpol (250mg)
6ml sos
It's acute gastroenteritis.
The dose of ondem in a 7 year old is 5 ml (2mg). Get a hemogram.
Next Steps
Most probably it's viral gastroenteritis, in which case you need to give only probiotics (L bacillus rhamnosus), and ors.
if the hemogram suggests bacterial infection, or raised counts and neutrophils, then an antibiotic might be required.
milk restriction, sugar restriction, avoid fruit juices, give ors.
