Suggest treatment for loose motions and high fever
Patient: My 3 and 10 month old baby is suffering from loose motions and high fever since yesterday. Our pediatrician suggested Zinconia syrup and Nutrolina B for the loose motion and also calpol syrup for fever. There is no improvement in fever or motions so far Doctor: Diarrhoea in infants is a very common condition most commonly caused by rota viral infection, sometimes gram negative bacteria. It lasts for 5-7 days and then goes off. So just treat your child symptomatically with syp calpol , give syp zinc 5 ml once daily for 14 days and hydrate the child adequately.give ORS solution to drink and replace every loose stool with 5-10 ml of ORS.
