Child Health Issues

My 5.5 month old baby is mouthing and is getting diarrhea often, the diarrhea isn't severe and there are no signs of dehydration. I went to the local child specialist doctor, he prescribed novogermina as well as a antibiotic drop for 5 days. My question is , are the antibiotic drops necessary, there is no blood in stool and pus cells came normal in stool test, then why the antibiotic drops.. Will it cause harm in the long run coz babies get diarrhea often.. I maintain bottle hygiene but due to mouthing baby puts several things in mouth that may be the cause of diarrhea..

I am currently giving him: Caladryl lotion (for application) Montair LC Kid syrup – 5 ml once at night I have already given these medicines.

My 10-month-old baby breathes through his mouth when he’s awake and playing, but during sleep, he closes his mouth and breathes through his nose. He was sick a 5-6 times in the last 2 months, but for the past 10 days, he’s fine — no cold, cough, or fever. Should I be worried about mouth breathing during awake?
