Could my daughter's mild loose stools after recovering from COVID-19 be caused by indigestion or are they a post-COVID symptom, and what warning signs should I watch out for while giving her Econorm and Lanzol Junior?
It is quite common for children to have mild loose stools after recovering from viral infections like COVID-19, as the gut can take some time to heal. This can be a temporary post-viral effect or mild indigestion. Econorm (a probiotic) helps restore her healthy gut bacteria, and Lanzol Junior (lansoprazole) manages stomach acid. While she recovers, please watch for warning signs like persistent vomiting, high fever, blood in her stool, extreme lethargy, or signs of dehydration like a dry mouth and decreased urination. If you notice any of these, or if the loose stools persist, please consult your pediatrician.
