Patient: hello sir my 03 Month old son suffering form loose motion last 15 days. Dr. advised him syp- prowel, syp zifi 100 mg, syp cazyme, Syp Decolic, Syp Enterogermina. , taken continue since last 05 days, have some relief but today again he is suffering from loose motion advise suitable treatment. Doctor: Children frequently suffer from diarrhoea due to a virus called rotavirus, moreso if the child is on external milk instead of exclusive breast feeding. The medicines given are proper and you need to continue them as directed. Give ORS (oral rehydration solution) prepared by mixing a full sachet in the designated amount of water (200 ml or 1 litre depending upon the size of the sachet) and give it sip by sip to your baby, such that the lost salt and water is replenished. Low lactose formula or lactose free formula like Zerolac is preferrable for upto a week after the child becomes fine.
