You said the baby was having dysentery earlier but I am not sure whether there was actual blood and mucus in stool at that time. You can do a stool routine and microscopy to get more information about the problem. In some patients you can get temporary lactose intolerance for few weeks after a diarrhea episode. For that you can try giving lactose free formula for a few days and see if there is improvement.
Next Steps
stool routine and microscopy to be done.
Health Tips
try lactose free formula for few days like zerolac. continue zinconia syrup for total 14 days
