Is it safe and normal to extend Oflox 100 for three more days if my 10-month-old baby is still having loose, slimy stools 12 to 14 times a day after a week of treatment with Econorm, Oflox 100, ORS, and Znd 20?
Please do not extend the Oflox 100 (ofloxacin) without consulting her pediatrician first. Prolonged antibiotic use can sometimes worsen diarrhea by disrupting healthy gut bacteria. Since she is still having 12 to 14 stools daily after a week of treatment, she needs to be evaluated by her doctor immediately to check for dehydration and reassess her treatment. In the meantime, continue giving her ORS (oral rehydration salts) frequently to keep her hydrated, alongside Econorm and Zinc as prescribed.
