Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Please do the following to help you in emergency.
1. Drink lots of ORS (oral rehydration solution) fluids
2. You may take antibiotic combination Ciprofloxacin + Tinidazole tablet (CIPLOX TZ is a well known preparation from a reputed company, other well known brands are equally effective). This is to be taken once at morning and night after food for 5 days.
3. You may take Pantoprazole 40 mg tablet once in empty stomach to decrease acidity.
4. Please take home cooked semisolid foods using less oil and spices for some days.
