Regarding loose motions
My 18 months son is passing stool twice thrice but its loose in texture. He took enterogermina for 5 days twice and got ok but again same thing started after 10 days and now he isbtaking 5ml podot suspension thrice. It's been 2 days he is taking Podot but no relief yet. Doctor advised to take Podot for 3 days. Should I continue with the same or any change suggested
1.Complete the prescribed 3-day course of Podot as per the doctor’s advice. However, antibiotics should not be overused in simple diarrhea.
2.Reintroduce probiotics (like Enterogermina or Econorm) to restore gut flora.
3.Monitor diet – Avoid excessive dairy, fruit juices, and processed foods. Increase fibers like bananas, rice, and curd.
4.Hydration is key – ORS (oral rehydration solution) if stools remain loose.
Next Steps
Visit nearby hospital ASAP if-
1. Fever,bloody stools
