#AskTheExpert My baby is of 11 and half months old. She is having loose motion. She generally poops for 2 times a day but yesterday it was for 4 times,though not very fluidy. She has already pooped 2times today and once poop came out while peeing also. Do I need to give her any medicine? And what should I give her to eat today? Please suggest..

A. Loose motion could be because of some infection or if chronic than could be some malabsorption. Initially you can givefe zinc supplement for 2 weeks and probiotic like econorm sachet for 3 days . For any specific treatment consult your doctor and maintain proper hydration .

A. Hi mom. nothing to worry as it can be because of the teething process. if your baby is having loose motion do not worry as it is quite common during this age and it is sometimes related to teething. Baby doesn't need any treatment but give breast milk continuously to avoid any dehydration. keep the floor of the house clean as baby will put the hands in the mouth and may cause diarrhoea more.
