Dear Mr XXXXXXX
None of the above tw drugs will cause dysentry( I assume you just meant loose motion without bl0od in stools).
Fepanil is Paracetamol: Which is safest antipyretic to bring down temperature
Dilosyn is methdilazine: Which is antihistaminic which helps in controlling respiratory symptoms.
Diarrhoea in children is usually self limiting. It requires supportive care by maintaining nutrition and hydration.
If the following criteria are fulfilled then there is no cause for concern
1. No blood in stools
2. Baby accepting feeds well
3. No signs of dehydration
4. Urine output adequate
Acute gastro-enteritis the principle of manegment is replace what is getting lost through stools by giving oral rehydration solution, maintaining nutrition to prevent dehydration.
I would suggest the following
1. Home made Oral rehydration solution: To a glass of boiled and cooled water add 20 gms or glucose or sucrose(Sugar) and a pinch of common table salt. Feed the child as much as possible. Alternate with Tender Coconut water
2. Maintain Nutrition: Dhal water, wheat porridge, rice water
3. Probiotics like Syrup Neutrolin B 5 ml twice a day will be helpful
4. Avoid milk for next 1 week
Consult Physician when you notice following red signs
1. Dry oral mucosa which implies dehdration
2. Absence of tears while crying
3. Blood/mucous in stools
4. Irritability
5. Decreased movements and excessive sleepiness
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you and your family happy and healthy life
Take Care
