My 5 month old son is passing loose foamish green motion since 10days for nearly 4times every day..my doctor earlier prescribed colic aid and prowell..Since there was no improvement,she suggested for stool test and gave Taxim O to start..The stool report shows presence of mucus and puss.the Dr has told to continue Taxim O.though the color has changed from green to yellow,it s still watery.The dr has prescribed to continue Taxim O and also give Nestum( food supplement)is it ok to give Nestum to my breastfeeding 5 month baby at this time ?will it make the stool semi solid?
Hi dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Yes! Nestum can be given during loose stools, it helps. Stool culture is the best investigation to get the exact bug causing problem, accordingly antibiotics are given to get the proper relief in symptoms and also eradication of the infection. Taxum O is a good antibiotic for the dysentery, but itself it causes some loose stools. Hope the loose stools will be better after the antibiotic is stopped. Along with the Nestum baby can be introduced some rice DAL water during such situation. Thanks
