My 5-month-old baby is having really bad loose motions, probably because of the antibiotics Advent that he's taking for ear pain. I'm giving him Enterogermina, but he's still having loose stools about 7 to 8 times a day. I'm really worried since he's so little, and the antibiotic course is still going on. What should I do to help him?

Fever for 4 days can be concerning.
Parasitamol (Acetaminophen)
- Temporarily relieves fever: Parasitamol can help reduce fever, but it doesn't address the underlying cause.
- Not a cure-all: While parasitamol can provide temporary relief, it's essential to identify and treat the underlying cause of your fever.
Consult a Doctor
- Prolonged fever: Fever lasting more than 3-4 days requires medical attention.
- Underlying cause: A doctor can help determine the cause of your fever, which could be a viral or bacterial infection, or another underlying condition.
- Cough and other symptoms: Although your cough is rare, it's still important to mention it to your doctor, as it could be related to your fever.
Please consult a doctor to:
- Determine the underlying cause of your fever.
- Receive proper treatment and guidance.
- Rule out any complications or underlying conditions.

I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?
For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is: - 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed. However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following: - Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension. - Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance. - Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting. - If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
