Brief Answer:
Need investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are a few things I would need to know
1 has you lost weight?
2 have you noticed blood in stools?
3 how many times do you pass stools in a day?

You need a few tests
1 a stool microscopy examination
2. Complete blood count (CBC) with ESR

Based on these rests we can decide whether you need further investigations
In the mean time I would suggest an antibiotic like rifaximin for 10- 14, days. Please consult your doctor for a prescription

Do get back
Regards
Dr Samir Patil

Brief Answer:
Probiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the information.

It is good that you do not have significant weight loss or blood in your stools.
I would advise you to get the tests done I have mentioned since you are suffering from diarrhea from past one month and add a probiotic like econorm to your prescription.

Consult your doctor regarding the same
