So far he has taken (7 tab 3x2=6 + 1 tab of today morning) Pain is little less but he is having dysentery. pl advice...
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns. Lanzol junior tablet is a proton pump inhibitor aimed at reducing the gastric acid secretion. It will help only if a bad acid reflux into the upper esophagus and the throat is precipitating the cough. As your son is having dysentery and not gastritis, it may not be the proper medication for your son. So, you need to consult your treating pediatrician for the change of medications for the above. Usually a course of antibiotics containing ofloxacin and tinidazole will subside the symptoms. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
