Suggest Medicine For Loose Motion

Hi Doctor, My baby is 5.5 months old he had loose motion a week back and a doctor recomended Trifix 1.5 ml twice a day and Bifilac Sachet after giving these the number of timed he passed stool was reduced and then few days after we stopped medication he started again. We did a stool full report and the results were all normal except pus cells 100 hpf and reaction acidic. Then we went to another doctor and she prescribed Taxim syrup 3ml twice a day for 5 days. After 5 days the stool report indicated pus cells as 40 hpf. But all these time the baby is fully normal and active. After seen the 2nd report yesterday doctor asked to stop the medication and wait for another week or so to monitor him. But since last night he pooped 4 times till now. And since morning he pass stool while we feed him. He is both formula and breastfed. We give him Nan 1 HA.

Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic. Your child is having a simple case of post gastritis lactose intolerance that's why he is passing loose stools now also with redness in perinatal area. As his stools are less no need to stop mother feeds but you can use a lactose free formula for a week like Zerolac. And apply a zinc oxide containing cream on the red skin. Slowly as his intestines heal you can introduce a lactose containing formula.
