Hello Dr. My son is 16 months old and he is passing stool 4-5 times a day , sometimes semi solid and sometimes liquidy form.He is teething also, can you suggest some thing?

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