What Causes Vomiting, Diarrhea, Stringy Stool With Cough?

Hi.My ten month old baby has had vomiting and diahorea for about 2 weeks now.He vomits about twice a day all of his feed and has about 4 episodes of loose green stringy stool.My doc has prescribed him antibiotics as he says he has crackles on his chest and he does cough a lot at night.I was wondering if the sickness and diahorea are related to the chest infection?

Hello,

Diarrhea and vomiting can be a side effect of antibiotic usage, possibly it has compromised the intestinal flora. I can recommend you to use probiotics such enterogermina to establish the intestinal flora.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
