Brief Answer:
Relevant tests suggested.

Detailed Answer:
Sir,

I understand your concern.

Satrogyl O drug has an action similar to Ofloxacin +Ornidazole.

Hence this will not be much effective.
You possibly seem to have resistant/partially resolved gastroenteritis.This needs confirmation.

All I advise you to have an Ultrasound abdomen with Stool culture and sensitivity testing.

One the results are out, further accurate management can be formulated.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
