7 Month Old Has Stomach Infections

by Preeti
(India)

Hi,

My 7 month old baby ( will be 7 this sunday ) is having frequent bouts of stomach infection. This is his 3rd in 2 months.

He passes green stools 7-8 times a day and the last two times had high fever too. He's on antibiotics currently which helped the fever but not the stool problem.

From the past 2 days he is waking up at night and starts crying. He is definitely not hungry as he does not want to feed.

I have a feeling he is in pain , but have no idea what to do.

Lactose problems maybe
by: Baby Help Line

Hi Preeti!

Green, frequent stools indicate that your son is either still having an infection or that he might have developed lactose intolerance. It is quite common that babies become intolerant to lactose for a while after diarrhea.

If you give him formula you could try switching to a lactose free type, such as for example soy based, or at least a hydrosalyte formula. I also think you shoudl take your boy back to the doctor and have them check up that he is getting the right antibiotics and discuss what to feed him to help his stomach get back in shape.

I really hope he will get well soon!
