Suggest Treatment For Loose Motions With Vomiting

Posted on Sat, 26 Apr 2014

Question: Hello Doc, My mother, age 59, has been having bouts of stomach ache followed by loose motion and vomitting (not often) since the last three days. She has had norflaxacin and Diarof (ofloxacin and ornidazole tablet). She has also consulted our family general physician. Her condition has improved slightly, but still feels pain at times and also has motions. Vomitting has reduced. She has been asked to take diarof (once morning and once evening) for tomorrow. I wanted to take a second opinion on her perspcription, and is there a need to get a physical examination done by another doctor. This is as her pain and motions still persist (though reduced). regards, XXXX
