Hi Doc, My 1.9 yrs baby had stomach infection a few days back. We were back in India then. i consulted a doctor but couldnt give him proper medication. Its been 3 weeks now and now we are in Germany, he now passes stools after almost he eats anything. We started giving him Entrogermina since last night and now we have Gramogyl to our rescue, can i treat him with the same? Is the stomach infection is still there? PS.We even consulted a German doctor here, on a general examination he didnt diagnose anything. Please help.

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
