Hi..my baby is 8 months old, 10 kg and 68 cms in height.. For the past 4-5 days he has been passing stools everytime he has food(cereal, milk..anything). Also the amount is less but the stools are semisolid/sometimes solid..inconsistent. But the frequency has increased. He has started to sit by himself. Is it the reason or is it anything else. what should i do?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry. Since, this increase in frequency of stools has occurred for last 4-5 days, it suggests that probably your child has got acute gastroenteritis. At this age, child puts everything in mouth due to teething and due to these chances of stomach infection increases. In my opinion, you should give syrup of lox to child with enterogermina ampule for 3 days. However, since this is a prescription medicine, I advise you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis. I hope this will help you. Take care.
