Loose motions
16 months old son has loose motions from 5 days. Loose motions are not responding to any medicine (antibiotic)
Doctor said all blood reports are normal and he is having lactose intolerance for which he started mactase drops today. He is on breastfeeding. Doc said to stop breastfeeding but I can't stop as he can't sleep without feed. Pls tell if mactase drops work or I have to stop feeding and start lactose free milk. Pls do reply. Thanks in advance
