Suggest Remedy For Greenish Stool With Mucus
Hello doctor! I m dimpal. My baby is 3 years old. Since last 8-10 days she is having sticky somewhat greenish stool with mucous 4 times a day. Doctor given her Metronidazole and Ofloxacin but their is no relief. Doctor advised to stop milk & milk products and also use of pacifiers. We did accordingly but no relief; now please suggest, what should I do? I m planning to give now Nutolin B syrup and Norfloxacin. Is it good alternative or should I give something other? Please suggest. Thanks!

hi dimpal...
your baby has bacillary diarrhea (mucus plug and blood). you have not mentioned about blood in stool. no need to take norflox or metronidazole.
follow the following suggestions-
1.contunue feeding
2. Z & D drops 1ml=20mg, 1ml once a day for 10days
3. econorm sachets 1sach twice a day
4. syp Septran (5ml=40mg) 10mg/kg/day in 2divided dose
in your child, diarrhea subsides in another 2 to 3days. normally it takes 5-7days to subside. i wish speed recovery to your cute child.
if you agree with my suggestions kindly rate me.
