Suggest Treatment For Watery Diarrhea

I have had watery diarrhea all day (at least 8-9) times. I have taken 1 dose of pepto, 2 doses of keopectate, and 2 Imodium tablets over the course of the day. The diarrhea is still consistent with no change in frequency or consistency. What should I do?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Most common cause of the watery diarrhoea is viral aetiology. It will goes off in the 3-5 days.
Other cause are bacteria and parasite.
I advise to take following advises for first 3-4 days:
Main aim is the maintain hydration and take rest.
Diet: rice, banana and ORS.
Take boiled rice with added lemon and salt.
Diarrhea due to virus will goes in the 3-5 days.
Tablet Vabact-DS.

If not resolves in the 3-4 days then consult the physician and go for stool microscopy, and culture to identify the causative organism
