For a 10-year-old child (30 kg), O2 suspension (ofloxacin + ornidazole) is not routinely recommended for simple loose motions.
Most loose motions in children are viral and need:
• ORS (very important)
• Zinc syrup for 14 days
• Light diet
Antibiotic is needed only if:
• Blood in stool
• High fever
• Severe abdominal pain
• Suspected bacterial infection
Dose depends on exact strength of suspension, so it should not be given without doctor evaluation.
If loose motions started just yesterday and child is active, focus on ORS first.
Based on your symptoms, this may require proper clinical assessment and prescription. You may book an online consultation with me for detailed evaluation and personalised treatment plan.
