Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should go for culture and sensitivity testing for stool.

The symptoms resembles those of thiobacillus infection but further confirmation can be done by microscopic examination, culture and sensitivity.

You can take Tab Doxycycline with lactobacillus spores. It will help clear up residual infections.

Take much of curd in diet. Do not eat irritant food so not to cause diarrhoea.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
