A. If your child has been having fever for 5 days and is now on antibiotics for the past 2 days, it’s possible that the antibiotics are affecting his digestion, causing him to pass stool after eating. Antibiotics can disturb the balance of good bacteria in the gut, leading to mild diarrhea or increased bowel movements, especially in young children. Here’s what you can do: Give probiotics: Including curd (yogurt) or a pediatric probiotic supplement (if recommended by your doctor) can help restore healthy gut bacteria. Ensure hydration: Keep your child well-hydrated with water, ORS, coconut water, or light soups to prevent dehydration. Monitor stool consistency: If the motion is watery, foul-smelling, or contains mucus or blood, or if your child becomes very tired or refuses to eat/drink, consult your doctor immediately. Avoid heavy or oily food: Give easily digestible foods like rice, dal, banana, and mashed potatoes until digestion improves. This situation is usually temporary and settles once the antibiotic course is over. However, if the fever continues beyond 5 days or the stool issue worsens, a follow-up with the pediatrician is important. Would you like help preparing a gentle diet plan during recovery?
