my son is 6 months, 7 days old. we have introduced potato to him. he is passing his motion in water type and going for 5 to 6 times per day. this is goingon for past 3 days. doctor prescribed enterogermina respules for 3 days and then zinconia syrup for 14 days and also ors liquid. why zinconia have to give? wt will be the reason for this loose motion? his motion is yellow color and while going lot of bubbles r coming. only after breastfeeding he is passing motion. mother is not having any problem.
Your child could have got a gastrointestinal infection which is the likely cause of his loose motion. It is also possible that he is still not used to the new kind of food and hence the passage of loose stools. The bubbles are due to bacterial degradation of undigested food in the intestines and hence support this fact. Let me assure you that the child can pass stool after every feed due to a phenomenon called gastronomic reflex which is absolutely normal and there is nothing to be worried about. Zinconia or zinc supplements help in the repair of the thin inner lining of the intestines (intestinal epithelium) which gets damaged during episodes of loose stools and hence needs to be given for a few days. Enterogermina contains beneficial bacteria that reside in our intestines and may help in controlling the loose stools.
