Thanks for putting up your query at Chat Doctor. I understand the cause of your concern. It would have been easier to judge if you had mentioned the age and weight of the child. Another information that I would have also required is whether the baby has active diarrhea at present. PALOP (Racecadotril) should only be given if he has active diarrhea. Stop it if the frequency of passage of stool has come down. ORS is to be continued till the baby is passing urine normally after the diarrhea has been controlled. Neobid-oz (ofloxacin-ornidazole) contains antibiotics and should be given twice a day for 5 days. Vinyl contains bacteria that are beneficial in such cases and can be given along with for a few days. In any case zinc is beneficial in case of diarrhea and should be given. Overall these medicines are supposed to give the child relief. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert with further queries if any.
