Suggest Remedy For Loose Motions And Weakness

My grandson is 4 months old and is having loose watery stool since last 4 days. He is on probiotic Darolac since last 3 days. He is still suffering and cries contineously. He was on bottle feeding. The treating doctor stopped bottle feeding and suggested soft cooked rice instead. He has become weak from crying. Please advise what to do. I am also getting worried. Thanks in advance. Manik.

Hi..
Thanks for contacting HCM.

Your grandson is not well and had diarrhoea for 3 days . not taking feeds and irritable.

You said he is given probiotic.

May be under a paediatrician you can take up basic complete blood count and if it is bacterial you can start with antibiotics (WBC high )viral(WBC low) continue with probiotics.

in either of the case try to feed with bland diet like rice gruel (like what you are giving),replenish with fresh fruit juices with no added sugar,tender coconut water etc..

Its good that you have stopped bottle feedings.

Take care..
