Dear Doctor, My 5 year old daughter suffering from fever with running nose since 10 days now. After giving Augmentin, she is having loose stool almost 10 times a day, watery with mucus. What to do?
Hi, Thanks for posting query on icliniq. Let me explain about pathophysiology about your child's illness: 1) After reading the description of your query, it seems that initially your child had viral illness that is common due to change of season. You do not need to give antibiotic for this; but you have given Augmentin. Anyways that is not the issue right now. 2) Now your baby had loose stool with mucous and pain in abdomen. It indicates infective diarrhea (Not diarrhea due to Augmentin -- that would be painless and no mucous). Now let me discuss about treatment plan of your child: If any time deterioration occurs, contact for admission in nearest hospital. Hope your baby will be fine in next 48 hours. Take care of your daughter and revert back to a paediatrician online -->
