I m running out of options can you please HELP. I would take her to the doc but we are out of town.
Hello dear. Its probably upper respiratory tract infection with associated ear infection. If you have used Zithromax for more than 48 hrs, i would recommend changing the medicines. Give him spy. Definite DS(200 mg/5 ml)5 ml once daily for 7 days along with spy. Zinc 5 ml once daily for 10 days. Also try some home remedies like homemade yogurt mixed with rice and lentil cereal(chichi).It's a natural probiotic. Give him green tea made with 5-6 mint leaves and a pinch of fennel seeds boiled in a glass of water and strained. Hope it will help. Stay blessed
