Hi Doctor, My son is 8 months old. He is having frequent bowel movements but normal. My doctor prescribed zinconia 1ml 2 times a day. My son is normal in his activities. His stools are also normal. Normal in color and ador. Please suggest. I am so much worried.
Hi...nothing needs to be done. You need not worry unless he is exhausted/ not passing urine/ there is blood in the motion/ abdominal distension/ listless. I suggest you give him plenty of oral fluids, avoid aerated Chat Doctor.  But the zinc supplements you are giving him is not adequate. Zirconia syrup contains 20\u00a0mg of zinc in 5ml, and you need to give 5ml once a day and not 1ml twice a day. He will get better soon. If he develops any of the danger signs mentioned above, kindly consult your pediatrician. Regards -
