Suffering From Intermittent Diarrhea
My 6 year old boy has been having intermittent diarrhea since we came back from Cuba on vacation. He has not had fever, or vomiting. Has has lost his appetite a bit but not dramatically. He is in a good mood. When we were in Cuba he did a lot of swimming in a swimming pool and may have swallowed some water....The watery stools are not very frequent but when they happen (a few times a week) have a funny, watery and flaky look. Any idea of what might it be?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some gastro-intestinal infection due to swallaing swim water having more chlorine or some water born infection.
go for one course of Ofloxacilin, metrogyl combination course for 3 days.
Give him light diet for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
