Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Gastroenteritis affects the normal bacterial flora of gut which has role in making classic color of stool. After infection subsides, it takes a while for bacteria to grow again and take back the action they perform. So i would suggest you to relax and observe. Following general measure will also help you in smooth recovery:
> Take lots of fluids( water, juices)
> Take yogurt at least twice a day
> Metronidazole thrice a day for 5 days
> Take Zinc supplement once a day for 10 days
> Avoid sweet products.
If condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for i/v treatment and further management.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
