<human>: Hello Dr, My 4 months old son is having loose motion since birth and 8-10 times in day now.We have consulted two doctors so far and they said its normal. Last week he was having chest congestion and a bit cold, so he prescribed Nesaclear and Kofarest-PD along with Ostocalcium and calshine-P.After giving above medicines, my son started loose motion very frequently where stool is very much watery. Today we consulted the same doctor, he prescribed Z & D dry syrup suspension .5 ml once a day for 10 days and Rinifol 2.5 ml a day for 3 days along with Nesaclear for twice a day for 3 days. Could you please suggest if above medicines would be helpful for faster recovery and won t have any side effects. We are also worried for his weight as he was born with 2.5 kg and now he is 5.45kg in 4th month. Thanks and Regards, Xxxxx
<bot>: Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your concern in depth.* Diarrhea since birth up to 4 months, is not normal ; he needs intensive work up with basic lab tests and ultrasound to finalize the cause.* Recommendations at present - Allow plenty of liquids in sessions.- Do not give any commercial formula of protein or milk.- Current medicines have to be continued as they will not give side effects with dosage under medical guidance.- Again for weight gain, there are certain basic lab tests which will be taken care by the pediatrician on demand. Hope this will help you for sure. Regards.
