Brief Answer:
Continue the same medication,

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your query and can certainly understand your concern,

If she seems to be normal and is playful, I would suggest you to continue with the same medication.This should help in improving her gut immunity. Also give her intermittent feeds of ORS suspension, so that all the lost nutrients are replenished.


Always keep a look out for fever, signs of dehydration like sunken eyes, pinched skin, inadequate urination.

If she has symptoms of nausea or vomiting, you can start her on Syrup Emeset, dosage to be calculated according to her weight.

Meanwhile, just keep feeding her on plenty of fluids and it should resolve in a matter of few days.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close the query and share your positive feedback,


Regards
