may be due to stomach infection...see detailed answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it may be acute gastroenteritis or stomach infection.

For further assessment, you may require complete hemogram, stool routine and culture sensitivity, ultrasound abdomen after physician consultation.

Meanwhile, you can take tablet loperamide 4 mg stat and 2 mg after each loose stool upto 12 mg per day and continue probiotic and ibgard.

Keep yourself hydrated with oral rehydration solution (Electral sachets) and plenty of water, fruit juices.

You may require antibiotics as per stool culture report after physician consultation. Do regular blood pressure monitoring. Take soft diet.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further....
