What medicine should I give for loose stools, and is an antibiotic necessary, for a fever that started yesterday and was treated with Meftal P syrup and Calpol?
For her loose stools, the most important step is keeping her hydrated. Please offer her Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and plenty of fluids. Antibiotics are generally not necessary for sudden loose stools and fever, as these are often caused by self-limiting viral infections. Since you are already giving Calpol and Meftal P, please ensure you space them safely as advised by her doctor to avoid overmedication. It is best to have her evaluated by a pediatrician before starting any new medications or antibiotics.
