Can I Increase Dosage Of Ondem To Treat Stomach Pain In A Child?
My daughter is 8 years old with wt. 17kg , ht. 120 cm . She is passing semi solid stool , though twice or thrice a day since 5-6 days and on and off stomach pain . She also vomited once complaining stomach pain but that improved with ondem two doses. Doctor has prescribed fragyl syrup for 10 days , 5ml thrice a day with enterogermina twice . Is such a long dose of fragyl is safe ? He prescribed that as she often complains stomach ache. We consulted another doc also who prescribed bacigyl n for 3 days only with zinconia syrup . Whom should we follow, we are really confused.

Check if the child has stopped passing loose stools , Its better if flagyl is started you continue for 5 days along with the second doctors prescription which can help your child to get rid of the symptoms.
