Why is 5-month-old baby having loose motion with pH level of 6?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) state that he is lactose intolerant. You have to avoid milk and milk products for a minimum of 15 days. Give him normal food, rice, dal, and vegetables, etc. After his stool has returned to normal color and consistency for four days, then you can start with small quantity such as 100 ml once a day and check if the symptoms return.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Please start him on probiotics. Enterogermina Respules (Bacillus Clausii) half twice a day morning and night. Sporlac (Lactobacillus) full one sachet with some of your milk expressed thrice a day.

E-Coli is a normal gut bacteria. It is present in everyone. But, when its number increase to more than the normal limits, it causes diarrhea. But your child's report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) suggest lactase deficient diarrhea for which, I mentioned earlier that you have to stop milk and milk products and start him on mashed rice with dal and vegetables.

But since you are unhappy with that, please continue the medication that I have prescribed earlier along with ORS (oral rehydration solution) sachets mixed with appropriate amount of water as mentioned on the packet and give him two tablespoons every hour. If his diarrhea persists still, then you have to go for injection antibiotics. I am assuring you again that E-Coli is a common organism found in the body. Do not worry about that. Please try to change the diet to what I have said earlier.

Do not worry about the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It just tells us which drug is useful for him presently, if we need to start her on antibiotics. If the motion is not watery, then you have nothing to worry about. Just continue the medicine and he will be fine.
