What Causes Loose Stools With Foul Odor In A Child?
Hi, My Daughter is 2 yrs & 3 months old. Her stools are loose & has a fowl smell. Consulted her doc who suggested Nutrolin-B syrup. Immediately after the first dosage, she developed a high temperature which occurs in 2 cycles a day, temp reaching over 103/104 F. Her doc has suggested oflomac-M(Ofloxacin and Metronidazole Suspension) & Z&D. Whats the purpose of these two medicines?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ofloxacin is an antibiotic and Metronidazole is an antiprotozoal. Protozoans and Bacterias are common causes of infectious Diarrhea.
Your physician has given the medicine to combat the usual organisms responsible for the sickness of your baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
