Pediatrician,  's  Response
Loose motion in a child could often be caused due to a gastrointestinal infection. The mentioned medicines are rightly prescribed and need to be given. Since it is most often caused due to viral cause, antibiotics are not required. Maintain proper hydration by giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) prepared by mixing a full sachet in a litre of plain water. Also give your child plenty of curd or yogurt since it contains beneficial bacteria.
