It is understandable to be concerned, but your child can recover safely with the right guidance. Since the diarrhoea has lasted a week and fever has now developed, a stool test and routine blood tests are recommended at this stage to target the exact cause. Regarding her medications, using two strong antimicrobials (colistin and ofloxacin-ornidazole) together is redundant and generally unsafe. However, continuing paracetamol for her fever, the probiotic, and oral rehydration salts (ORS) is safe and vital. Please consult a paediatrician immediately to review her symptoms and safely streamline her treatment.

My 4-month-old baby is suffering from diarrhoea, and the doctor prescribed Walamycin 12.5, but the dosage was not specified. What is the correct dosage chart and schedule for a baby of this age?

For a four-month-old baby, the dosage of this medication (colistin) must be calculated precisely by your paediatrician based on your baby's exact weight, not just their age. Giving an incorrect dose can be unsafe or ineffective. Please contact your prescribing doctor immediately to get the correct dosage and schedule. In the meantime, focus on keeping your baby well-hydrated by continuing frequent breast or formula feeding. You can also ask your doctor about using an Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). Seek immediate medical attention if your baby shows signs of dehydration, like extreme sleepiness or fewer wet diapers.
