Q: Why does my one year nine months old son keep getting vomiting & loose motions? The paediatrician said that it is indigestion and gave some digestion syrup mixed with antibiotic. I have my doubts on how to control this indigestion and its treatment. If this indigestion happens regularly can it lead to any other problem?

A:The repeated episodes of indigestion and loose stools may be related to either overfeeding or a breakdown of hygiene. Please look into this possibility and take corrective measures. Repeated courses of antibiotics have no role to play. Do not use them. Prevention is the answer.
