Loose motions
My baby is almost 6 months old and is having loose motions from 5 days. My doctor has recommended econorm sachet twice a day. I have read that this is used to treat diarrhea due to infection. I am wondering if my baby does not have infection as reason of loose motion is it still ok to give econorm sachet. Will it not have any side effects. Please advise.

Plz don't just Google and have a trust on your doctor otherwise - create lot of confusion and anxiety. If any serious effect More than benefits doctor will surely explain and counsel.
