Hello doctor, My 9 month kid is having loose motions for the past 15-20 days. very watery watery motions.consulted many doctors in the town they some medicines and most of them say it is common when the baby is getting the teeth.Can we stop these motions as he is loosing his weight
I understand your concern. Watery diarrhea in child Chat Doctor.  In 2-3 days. But lasting for 20 days points to some infection. But before concluding I would ask if there is fever and vomiting besides asking if the baby is fed from bottle. In that case stop bottle and feed only breast milk and other feeds, if you must from cup with spoon. I have seen this working in my clinic and I strongly dissuade bottle-feed and would advise a probiotic powder and a racecadotril powder available in sachets like Zedong, Enough or Race dot. You must give enough water and ORS after every loose motion to prevent deny
