My 6-month-old baby, who is on breast milk and Similac Advance Infant Formula Stage 1 powder, has been having frequent loose motions for the past 2 days. I have started giving Z&D DS 20 and Cefolac oral suspension, as previously prescribed by a doctor for a similar problem. Is it safe to continue these medicines, or should the treatment be changed?
