hi doctor, my baby is 10 months old and having loose motions (10 - 15 times per day ) for the past 5 days, we have consulted a doctor and he suggested to use normetrogyl 2.5ml twice a day for 5 days and also enterogermina suspension. 3 days have completed and i observed a rash on babys body. now the motions have reduced to 5 times a day and also sticky . can i stop the medicine ??
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for you:1. As you have given the medicines for 5 days, I would suggest you to stop the medicines.2. Most of the diarrhea at this age are viral, and they need maintenance of HY Chat Doctor.  So I would suggest you to continue plenty of fluids like curd, buttermilk, soups, coconut water, etc. in addition to ORS fluids. Please continue breastfeeding.3. I would also suggest him syrup zinc for 14 days which helps to recover early.4. If the rash is itchy, I would suggest you to give your baby cetirizine for 3 days. If it is not itchy, you can apply a simple lotion over the rash. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your baby a very good health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
