Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

I apologise for the delayed response.

In case the loose stool is not resolved, it is advisable to take a short course of antibiotics.

I generally recommend oral tablets of ORNI O for 3 days.Please check with your physician if he shares this view and if can prescribe the same to you.

This should resolve the infection.

Further tests may be needed, only if you do not respond to standard antibiotics.

Thank you.
