Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent diarrhea despite taking Nitazoxanide and Hifenac plus which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of getting infected. I would suggest you not to panic at all. Do tepid sponging as well. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate body fluids. You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
