VIRAL DIARRHEA 5 Month Baby
My baby 5 months old suffering from VIRAL DIARRHEA as local doctor as where he is admitted had said.Firstly he was passing approx 10 watery stools which was of watery color(pure water) and very bad smell
From Yesterday he started passing watery stool which is yellow in color, and water level in stool had quite decreased.Quality of stool slightly improved but number of stools stills remains the same which is 10. Doctor had prescribed some medicines and injections like MIKACIN 100mg Injection, Dexona Injection,Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam Injection, O2ORm,Meropenem Injection Ip 250mg,Racecadotril Suspension, BIFILAC GG 10 Sachet, ORS and 500ml Saline water in 24 hrs.
Even spending 4days with these medicines loose motion isn't got stops.
Please confirm in how many days loose motion will get stops in this viral diarrhea as my baby had got weak.
Please reply with my above questions and also prescribe me some medicines if any needed.
Thank you.

I think you need to consult pediatrician in your area, I don’t think currently your child is getting treatment from pediatrician. Lots of medication for such a small baby.

As you mentioned stool amount decrease, i hope your baby recovered early,
I need some more information, like stool report blood report,
Want to see your baby clinically,
Mostly 10 small amount of stool not cause much problem,
Your baby on higher level of antibiotic
If baby taking orally well then nothing to worry

You need to take direct opinion from a near by pediatrician with all your reports. Need to stop some unnecessary medications. Evaluate for other causes is required.
