Brief Answer:
Intestine infection. All guidelines narrated herewith.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have evaluated your query thoroughly.
* This is most likely intestine infection through some sort of bacteria or virus which may be acquired via some sort of food or liquids.
* Primary guidelines for better recovery.
- Drink plenty of liquids including boiled water, lemon juice, coconut water, home made fresh butter milk to maintain hydration.
- Prefer soft, light diet including fresh curd, organic fresh fruits.
- Avoid oily, spicy, non-veg, junk foods.
- Eldoper is not advisable as it has much adverse effects, better to be avoided.
- Should take probiotic with lactobacillus content for speedy recovery as Sporlac or else as per prescription with your doctor.
- I do not recommend antibiotic at this stage now.
- Continue to take Pyrigesic along with antacid as tab.
Ranitidine.
* Follow up after 24 hours about the progress or early as per the requirement.
Wishing you fine recovery.
Welcome for any further assistance.
Regards.
Take care.
