Hi

Thanks for writing in

It seems you have developed GI infection

The best thing would be take lot of fluids orally some oral rehydration therapy and add a probiotic twice a day for five to seven days

Feronem has no role in GI infections
On the contrary nause and loose motions are its side effects

You can go for a physician in the locality and take some prescription medicines

Hope this helps

Hi XXXXXXX

Had been out for a workshop , resulting in the delay

Your information points to the possibility Of gastrointestinal infection

It would be better if you start O2 and take it for a minimum of seven days at stretch

Also continue probiotic for the same period

Hope this helps
