Hello doctor, my 4 months old baby is having loose motions. It had started yesterday I guess because of the orange juice. I got him checked with a local doctor and he had prescribed the Syp Normef and the ORS. Is the syrup the correct medicine to be given?
Hi, It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.  There is no need to use antibiotics (like Nor met) unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
