  5. My 3-year-old son has watery, foamy, green stools with slimy mucus. I have given him 7 doses of Oflomac Forte syrup, along with Entroflora and Econorm; his daily stools decreased from 8?9 times to 5 times, but there is no other improvement. Should I start giving him the newly prescribed antibiotic Metrogyl now, or should I wait a little longer?

Since his stools still contain slimy mucus and foam after several doses of Oflomac Forte (ofloxacin) and probiotics (Entroflora and Econorm), it is best to start the newly prescribed Metrogyl (metronidazole) now as advised by his doctor. Metrogyl targets specific infections causing mucus and foamy stools that the previous medicine may not cover. Please ensure he stays well-hydrated with Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and plenty of fluids. If he becomes very lethargic, vomits repeatedly, or shows signs of dehydration, please consult his doctor immediately.
