HI...My 6 month old son was having loose motion for few days (around 4 times a day) then started getting fever all of a sudden . He fever went to 104 & was admitted to hospital. His fever subsided but loose motions increased. Doctor said he had viral diaraheo. he was discharged day before yesterday, but his loose motion has not stopped. doctor has adviced to give him zincnia 2.5 ml twice a day & novafex 5ml twice a day for 5 days. he is still getting motion around 5 times a day. Is there any household remedy for loose motion for 6 month old child. how long will his loose motion continue?
Hello, It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting. You need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
