Treatment

She was treated for twenty days with the following medicines

  • Antibiotics (Entamizole syrup continuously for ten days,
  • Amikacin injection - one time, which was later changed to Fortum
  • Fortum ceftazidime pentahydrate injection - 4-times in two days
  • Gravinate Syrup (Dimenhydrinate) for two weeks and one time injection resulted minor relief
  • Zinc Sulphate monohydrate was given continuously
  • ORS was given continuously
  • Formula Milk having lactose contents
  • After two week lactose free forumula was suggested
She was taken to the nearest doctor for almost two weeks without some temporary relief for one day where she was treated with antibiotics Gravinate injection Entamizole, and Zincat in Syrup form.

She was not dehydrated as she was continuously given ORS one-two ounces after every hour along with breastfeeding and formula milk.

Mostly feeding your baby or child as usual is a good practice. Most children can replenish nutrients lost through diarrhea. For babies, always continue breastfeeding or formula feeding.

After two weeks it was suggested that formula milk be changed to a lactose free formula.

She is now fine, feeding well and behaving normally with extra thirst which is satisfied by 2-4 ounces of ORS as per her wish.
