Brief Answer:
Antibiotics, hydration, probiotic, lab tests
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome.
First of all I am sorry to hear about your husband. Next, I would like to know if the appearance of the loose stool and vomiting was sudden or has he experienced the same in the past? If he has not and this was sudden, then this could be due to consumption of contaminated food or drink (called acute gastroenteritis). Did he experience the symptoms approximately 2-6 hours after a meal? What did he eat or drink?
The doctor is right in not stopping the loose motions, but at the same time it is important to collect a stool and blood sample, and send the same to a laboratory to look for infections. I would also advise admission and adequate hydration through an IV (intravenous line), as your husband would not tolerate anything orally and is losing a lot of fluids which can result in dehydration.
Please also discuss the addition of a probiotic like (Eg. GNORM capsules or XXXXXXX to his treatment regimen).
Once the laboratory results are attained, depending on the report initiation of antibiotics would be required to tackle the infection. If I were your husband's doctor I would initiate antibiotics like ofloxacin or amoxicillin+clavulanate in the IV-infusion form.
I hope this information helps. Please take this up with your husband's doctor. Hope he recovers soon and lives a healthy life thereafter.
Best wishes.
