Hello,

I have gone through your query. Here is my advice.

As per your history, you can give cap. nutrolin b plus.

You can also continue tablet eldoper 2 mg after every loose stool upto maximum 12 mg per day.

Along with that, Continue oral rehydration solution. Keep her hydrated. Give soft diet.

Considering her age 84 yrs, kindly closely monitor blood pressure and watch for symptoms fever, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness, Giddiness than she may require urgent medical care.
