Is increased bowel movement normal in a 4-month-old kid?
Hello doctor,
My daughter is 4 months old now. She is on breastfeeding only. She used to defecate once or twice daily. Sometimes she defecated once in two to three days. Recently she has started defecating four to eight times a day (generally very small amount though) and her feces have become more liquid. We went to a doctor who suggested some probiotics and told not to worry. She is otherwise healthy and shows no symptoms of any illness. However, we thought to have a second opinion. We did a stool test and I am attaching the recent one. Please suggest if there is anything to be worried about? She is on usual vitamin and Iron supplements.

Is it necessary to see a doctor immediately for a nosebleed?
Hello doctor,
My four year old son bumped his nose on his cousin, while in a swimming pool. It bled a lot, but I pinched his nose for a couple of minutes while he was sitting on my lap. The bleeding stopped immediately. Now, he is calm and watching television. Should I take him to a doctor immediately?

What could be done to manage an infant with loose stools?
Hello doctor,
My kid is 11 months old and he had more than 20 loose motions in one day today. He has never had this kind of a severe problem. In his bad days, he might have had 10 motions but they were not as loose and watery as today. He is currently on Taxim O, Sporlac, and Enterogermina. Is it safe to use Oflox OZ for him? Please let me know the dosage as well.
