Hello,
I understand your concern about your son's loose motions occurring 4-5 times daily for the past 2-3 days. While Enterogermina is a good probiotic, let me guide you on proper management:
**Immediate Care:**
1. **Hydration is crucial** - give ORS solution frequently in small amounts
2. **Continue Enterogermina** as it helps restore gut flora
3. **Bland diet** - banana, rice, apple, toast (BRAT diet)
4. **Avoid** dairy, fatty or spicy foods
**When Antibiotics May Be Needed:**
Antibiotics should only be given if:
- There's blood/mucus in stool
- Fever persists beyond 24 hours
- Symptoms worsen or don't improve in 48 hours
**Warning Signs Requiring Immediate Attention:**
- Sunken eyes/dry mouth (dehydration)
- Reduced urine output
- Lethargy or excessive sleepiness
- High fever (>101°F)
I recommend monitoring for these signs and avoiding self-prescribed antibiotics as they can sometimes worsen diarrhea. For proper evaluation and prescription if needed, you can consult me via WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two.
