My child has been passing stool 5 to 6 times a day immediately after eating for the past week and has become weak. The prescribed medicines (Lupizyme TD Junior, Lanzol OD, and Proentra Sachet) are not providing any relief. What alternative medicine should be given?

Since your child has been passing stools frequently and is feeling weak, preventing dehydration is the top priority. Please immediately start giving Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and plenty of fluids. The current medications may not be targeting the underlying cause, which could range from a post-infectious bowel issue to temporary lactose intolerance. Do not start any alternative medicines on your own. Please consult your paediatrician immediately for a physical assessment. The doctor may recommend stool tests, zinc supplements, or a change in diet and prescription to help your child recover safely.
