Suggest Treatment For Loose Stool And Stomach Aches
Question: I have loose stools and also severe stomach ache while passing stools. I have been taking Norflox TZ for the past 8 days but stomach pain and loose stools continue.
Brief Answer:
Possible bowel infection, following advice
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Having loose stool with stomach ache is indicating possible bowel infection.
Taking norflox is not enough to dominate the symptoms.
I advise to also take :
- tasectan or pepto bismol
- probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- antacids to optimize stomach pH
- increase fluids intake
- have light meals ( soups, yoghurt, banana, rice, apple sauce, toast )
If the symptoms will persist, then further examination are needed :
- fecal culture
- examination of stool for ova / parasites
- abdominal ultrasound
Hope it was of help! Wish fast recovery!
