Brief Answer:
Treatment of dehydration is of prime importance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Your brother seems to be suffering from infection in intestines.
30-35 times is too much, he should be given plenty of oral re hydration solution.
If he is passing urine then it is OK, if not he should be given intravenous fluids,this is of prime importance, as severe dehydration may cause kidney problem.
For infection Ofloxacin should be given with pre and probiotics.
I repeat and stress, Dehydration should immediately be taken care of.
Hope I have answered your query.
If any thing else you are welcome.
Good luck.
