I have been having loose motions since yesterday, there is no fever or any additional symptoms associated with it apart from the general weakness.

I have taken Metrogyl 400 mg - 1 @ Night and 1 @ Morning (Today) and haven't seen any much difference.

Please suggest any better medication for this and any additional precautions which I need to take.
