My baby girl has been having loose motions for a month. After she completed a course of Ziprax 100mg syrup, the problem stopped for two days, but has now returned. What medication or treatment should I give her next?
I understand your concern, but please do not start any new medications or repeat the antibiotic (cefixime) without a doctor's consultation. Chronic loose motions lasting a month require a proper evaluation by a paediatrician to find the exact cause, which could be post-infectious lactose intolerance or a different underlying issue. For now, focus on keeping your baby well-hydrated. Offer Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) after every loose stool, and continue regular feeding. Please visit your paediatrician soon; they may recommend a simple stool test and prescribe appropriate treatment like zinc supplements or probiotics to help her recover safely.
