This could be a side effect of antibiotic use. If too troublesome, a probiotic such as sporlac may be given (one sachet twice daily for three days), OR Enterogermina one ampoule twice daily for three days.
Alternatively, curd in diet (which also contains lactobacillus) can be added.
Next Steps
Burping after feeds helps to expel the gas.
Health Tips
Antibiotic associated diarrhoea should be looked for. Use antibiotics only when necessary.
