Baby Diarrhoea
My 4 months old baby girl is suffering from diarrhoea for last 10 days. I consulted with a paediatrician. He said that it's because of she is keeping her fingers and toys always in mouth, so got infected. He prescribed some medicines such as zinc drops, probiotics and gastric drops. But she is not yet got rid from diarrhoea. What to do?

If baby is passing adequate urine ie minimum 6-8 times per day
Then no need to worry for motion ( once in 7 days or 15 times per day- both conditions normal)
Don't give so much importance to motion unless blood in motion or bad smelling motion
Keep ur baby well hydrated
Continue to give Breast milk
Don't give water and other food items at this age
Wait for some more days
Everything will be alright
If blood in stool or less urine output then consult with nearest pediatrician
For now
Give
Liq. Enterogermina 5ml once a day for 2 days only
It will help.
