What Are The Treatments For Loose Motion, Vomiting And Stomach Cramps?
hi my daughter of 20 years had loose motions vomiting and stomach cramps about 12 days back and she got better after taking immodium however she still gets three loose stools in a day and and feels that she is not completely cured and is not feeling a 100percent kindly advise
I really appreciate your concern, Imodium is not the curative medicine but it can only checks the diarrhea and it is not advisable to have this tablet because checking diarrhea with Imodium could be the paralytic ilium and it could be dangerous, most of the diarrhea condition are self limiting may not needs any treatment but of course hydration needs to be taken a care.
If the diarrhea is not controlled on it is own then you can try Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day because it could be protozoa infection and Metronidazole can be taken for five to seven days.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
