Fever and Flu

Asked for Female, 6 years

My baby is 6.5 months old, teething. She caught fever and flu on Saturday. After taking the medicines shes passing loose stool 4-5 times a day! Shes badly congested so she's being given antibiotic too. Please help me what should I do to stop her motions as already shes not well and these loose motions.

Dear Patient,

These motions are due to the antibiotic. As you will complete the course of medication they will halt.

Give your baby sufficient hydration.
Continue nebulizing baby twice a day for a week. Its the most effective way to relieve congestion.

You can give coferb syrup 1 tsp for cough. Its natural ivy leaf extract so very safe for babies esp when teething
Also, give panadol drops 6 hourly alternating with brufen syrup to alleviate pain of teething.
