Suggest remedy for diarrhea and cold
Patient: Hi i took my 5 old month baby to see the doctor today as he has had dioreah since wednesday, also a cold which she gave me sme antibotics to use with him. but im worried beccause she said it will make him have more dioreah. i really dnt want him to get worse with his dioreah as all he is doing is sleeping all the time or crying the other. He also hardly taking any of his feed and when he does it comes straight back out. is there anything i can do to  help? thanxs Doctor: Dear parent, for the diarrhea you should use an antidiarrheal medication together with oral rehydration solution 5 tea spoons for every pound of child's weight with every time he passes stool. make sure the child is adequately hydrated with enough fluids and milk. use an antiemetic to stop vomiting ( other than primperane as contraindicated in children) . try to offer only soft easily swallowed food as soup, youghurt and jelly . following these measures will not make the antibiotic worsen the diarrhea so continue on the antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor
