Passing stools 2-3 times per day is a normal frequency for a child of your age. So don't worry. Ors has to be given after every loose stool. The idea is that the child should not be dehydrated. Sporlac is a pro-biotic, and maybe continued for 5 days in total. If the child becomes lethargic, refuses feeds or there is blood in stool, then consult a doctor.

Hi lybrate-user, continue sporolac and give zinc syp for 14 days. Wait for 3 to 4 days .but maintain dydration with ors or lemon juice.

Sporolac does not remove smell or control diarrhoea. You should concentrate on keeping your kid well hydrated. Give kid liquid diet, ors, and maintain good hydration. In case of persistent vomiting, intolerance to feed, high purge rate, decrease urination, lethargy, or blood in stool, immediately consult doctor.

Continue sporolac powder. In addition please use benegut respules by mouth once daily for 3 days. If child appears tired then give her ors-l sips, as much as tolerated.

Why to worry about 2 to 3 times per day watery motion? Loose stools or diarrhoea in a simple language means to change in frequency and consistency of your son’s stool frequency and consistency than routine. First, our worry should be only not to lose too much water from our child so ensure first adequate hydration don’t jump to medicines if not required really. Second, he is 8 months and if is he breast feeding than beat to ensure good enough breastfeeding first. And if possible than give light complementary diet like khichadi/rice with curd. Don’t worry about smell if your son has no other symptoms. Consult doctor if you find less urine frequency, vomiting which reduce oral intake and other symptoms like fever, blood or mucus in stool. Thanks.
