Diarrhea

by arpitas2000, Oct 27, 2009 03:41AM
My 11 months old baby (boy) is passing loose stools for the past 1 week. The color if the stools is green and is mucous like at times, I spoke to his doctor he suggested some medication along with ORS. His condition doesn't seem to be getting better. He also doesn't show any interest in solid food, he is breastfeeding normally though. He used to eat (solids) well but as I mentioned not showing any eagerness to eat. He already has got 6 of his teeth and never had any significant teething trouble. This is the first incident of diarrhea in him. Please suggest me what I should do.

Keep him hydrated (pedialyte is really good) and don't force him to eat solids until he's ready. It has to be his teeth not all will come out as easy as the first ones. The mucous is normal when teething.

Thanks a lot. I shall keep Pedialyte in mind. Good that you told me of teething. I always thought that teething never caused any discomfort to him. Thanks again.
