How lo0ng it will take him to get cured?
Hello dear! The medicines prescribed by the doctor are alright but I would like you to have a blood culture report done to know which antibiotic should be prescribed depending on the sensitivity of the bacteria causing the illness. You should give him soft diet for at least 1 week like porridge, wheat or rice cereal, custard,bread soaked in milk, boiled rice with properly cooked and mashed beans/lentils. A balanced diet which has fewer spices and fat. Give him boiled water and fresh vegetables and fruits after washing them and peeling them properly. Maintain a good hygiene. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health
