Hello, my daughter has diarrhea/loose stools since 2 days. Doctor prescribed the Enterogermina 5 ml bottle/pack twice a day, but still the diarrhea/loose stools not reducing.
Let me brief; On Tuesday my daughter got Vaccinated (2 years completion vaccine) at that time itself she had mild cold so Doctor gave Relent + syrup and almost the cold got reduced, and on Friday she had mucus on throat but no running nose, so we gave Ventimox CV dry syrup for that mucus, Friday we gave Ventimox CV syrup twice and mucus also reduced but at midnight she vomited and from Saturday onwards diarrhea/loose stools started.
Now, we are giving Enterogermina.
As we used Enterogermina for 2 days and still the baby has diarrhea. Please advise how many days diarrhea will last and can we continue Enterogermina for another day?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can continue Enterogermina for another 2–3 days. It is a probiotic and helps restore gut flora, especially useful after antibiotic use (like Ventimox CV). It is generally safe for children and can be continued for 5–7 days if needed.
Post-antibiotic diarrhea is common, especially in children, and usually resolves within 3–5 days, sometimes up to a week. The symptoms you’re describing likely indicate antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
What you can do:
• Continue Enterogermina twice daily
• Ensure adequate hydration – give plenty of fluids (ORS, breastmilk, or water as per age)
• Avoid heavy or oily foods; offer soft, easily digestible foods (like rice, curd, banana, khichdi)
When to see the doctor again:
• If diarrhea lasts more than 5–7 days
• If baby becomes very tired, not drinking well, reduced urination
• If blood is seen in stool or fever appears
If symptoms persist despite Enterogermina, your doctor may consider adding zinc supplementation or evaluating for other causes like viral gastroenteritis or intolerance to antibiotics.
