Brief Answer:
Maintain Hydration

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, it is not advisable to take more Immodiums, it can trap the infection or poisoned food in the intestines.

You can take Cap Racecadrotil 100 mg thrice daily after food for three days. This will reduce the water secretion into the stools and makes the stools hard thereby reducing the frequency of stools.

Also, maintain good hydration. Drink lots of fresh juices, water, butter milk, tender coconut water etc.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
