Still there is least possibility of Guillian Barre syndrome.
You should not take Imodium (Loperamide) as it decrease secretions in gastrointestinal tract while also inhibits escape of virus from gastrointestinal tract.
In such cases, intake of Imodium may be harmful.
You should consult with XXXXXXX medicine specialist and should go for proper treatment.
