Brief Answer:
Rehydration

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

That many episodes of loose stools would surely have resulted in significant de-hydration. I would strongly recommend you to visit nearby hospital for Intravenous fluids and antibiotics.

If that is not possible now, you can take Cap Loperamide 2mg immediately This will prevent further loose stools and loss of water. You must also take Oral re-hydrating solutions available in the pharmacy. They may be in powder form which have to be reconstituted in water.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
