Brief Answer:
precautions and medicine prescribed

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your health concern.
It is not good to have chronic diarrhea like this as it is mostly stress related or due to some chronic infection.
Take a note of following points -
- drink ample amounts of water
- eat lots of fibre in the form of salads, fruits and sprouts
- take tablet loperamide twice a day for 7 days
- take tablet ofoxacin and ornidazole combination twice a day for 5 days.
In case diarrhea still persists then visit a gastroenterologist at the earliest for full work up.
All the best.
