Chemotherapy is usually associated with many side effects. Loose stools is one of them. It will take sometime to resolve. Take plenty of oral fluids and anti diarrhea medicines.

Health Query

Hello doctors, My baby girl is 4.5 month old she was having fever from 4 days so we visited doctor and he diagnosed her with diarrhea since she was passing v less urine and more watery stools. So doctor has prescribed zenflox 2.5 ml, entroflora, redotil sachet. And asked me to stop breastfeeding and start zerolac milk for her. I am not convinced to stop breast feeding since I have heard from all that breastfeeding ia the best medicine and contains antibodies for children to fight with infection. Please suggest.

You are right lybrate-user. But breast milk or any other milk contain lactose sugar which may not be digested in very prolonged diarrhoea. With just 4 day history I think you should not stop breast milk but can get stool for reducing substance done which may decide future course of action. Stopping of breast milk is very very rare thing and usually not required.

Asked for male, 22 years old from Kolkata

From a few days I was having complete loose motion. I consulted a MBBS doctor who suggested me brakke tablet along with a capsule named Cyra - D.I took them for 2-3 days but the symptoms were same loose stool just like water. Then I approached a MD doctor who gave me 3 medicines 1) Redotil 2) lactobacil plus 3) folic acid. I took those medicines for a day and now my stool has moved to semi solid phase but its not completely solid. I want to know how much time will it take for me to completely get cure cause I am suffering from the stress that I might have some cyst in my stomach or somewhere though I don't have any pain. I would also like to know the possible symptoms of having cyst in stomach spleen or somewhere in the digestive track.

Asked for female, 32 years old from Bhiwadi

Hello my baby gal of 5 months was suffering from fever and loose stools so she went through a zenflox. Entroflora and redotil medicines for 8 days. She did not pass stool for 5 days and Now as soon as the course of medicines got over she started having. Loose green stools with white curd like substances. In 24 hours She passes 8 -10 watery stools when she is awake ànd next 12 hours she is fine. Baby looks fine and active has no fever and shows no sign of dehydration. Will the stool get fine on its own? Also can we give her ORS. Since she only breastfeeds and twice a day we feed her with zerolac.

No loose motion during sleep is suggestive that she has no pathological reason of loose motion. Stop top feed. Keep her on breast milk only. I think she may be alright on its own course.

your 2kg weight loss is not having any significance. It is possible that u may have just anxiety disorder and nothing else.If u don't want to go for Colonoscopy ,u can go for CT abdomen but for me it is also not required. just come out of your overconsciouness.
