Can you suggest medicine for this?
Brief Answer:
Take symptomatic treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
If you are having watery loose motions without abdominal pain or fever then I will suggest you to take only symptommatic treatment.
1) Take Tab.sporolac-ds three times daily with Econorm sachets three times daily (to take 1 XXXXXXX with full glass of water) which are available over the counter.
2) Take lots of fluids and fruit juices throughout the day and avoid routine diet for couple of days.
Take WHO ORS for electrolyte balance.
3) No oily or spicy foods.Take pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily if you have gastric trouble.
4) Coconut water will also be helpful.
5) Tab.Mefal spas if you feel abdominal pain later on which is available over the counter.
6) No need of antibiotics (Norflox- Tz) at present or it can be added if loose motions do not subside within 48 hours.
With above symptommatic treatment, I would expect that you will start improving within 48 hours,so there is no need to bother much.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have more doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Sandip
