How To Treat Loose Motion In A 4 Months Old Child?

My 4 months babys is passing loose stool 6-7 times a day, 10 days back when we visited the Doctor, he was given a syrup of bacigyl and vizylac for 5 days. The stool routine report showed mucus present in stool and pus cells0-1 hpf. It improved a bit, frequency came down but now he is passing green stool and stool routine report shows mucus present, pus cells 5-6 hpf, epithilical cells 1-2. Doctor has advised Taxim O for 7 days? Is it a sign to worry?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. I understand the cause of your concern. The initial stool report did not reveal any stool infection although the latter has some evidence for which your doctor has given the antibiotic (Taxim O). Greenish stools are caused due to rapid transit of the faecal matter through large intestine. You need not worry unless there is blood in stool. The medicines given are proper and you need not worry about that too.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
