What is the remedy for stomach infection when on ondem?
Patient: Hi, My son is of age 1y4mnths.For the first day he was vomiting the mucus substance.He was having stomach infection and was vomiting whatever he intakes.Doc Prescribed  Ondem before food and we gave it for 2 dys still no effect and had to opt Taxim and now vomiting has gone.But my worry is his stomach still is like an inflated balloon and his motion is also not in  a controlled manner.could you please assist me.Also cough has started. Doctor: Hi,Welcome to HCM.Young infants are more prone for viral diarrhea than bacterial causes. But stomach infections are common in children as they tend to put their fingers in their mouths after touching contaminated surfaces. Ondem is an antiemetic and is useful for vomiting. Taxim is Cefexime which is a broad spectrum antibiotic useful for bacterial infections. Side effects could be bloating and loose stools. I suggest you complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed, hydration should be maintained by giving small sips of water at regular intervals. Fluid diet is recommended.If cough increases, he should be shown to his pediatrician immediately.Thanks.
