Loose motion
Hello doctor!! My 4.5 months old baby is passing green coloured loose stools for 6-7 times a day. I guess he has caught cold becoz of sleeping in AC. Is it safe to give him Econorm?

Giving Econorm is absoleutly fine . You can give one ampoule / sachet per day for 5 days.
You are right it may be some viral infection which should resolve by itself in 3-4 days.
Keep a watch on urine output. If the baby is passing urine once in every 4 hours there ia nothing to worry about

If baby is passing adequate urine ie minimum 6-8 times per day
Then no need to worry for motion
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.
