Brief Answer:
ORS and anti diarrhoeals
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You seem to have aquired bacterial infection which is common to infect after eating fried rice and spicy stuff.
You can take TAB IMODIUM one tablet now and continue the same NORFLOX TZ one tablet twice a day for three days. You do not need to take tab IMODIUM if the loose stools stop. Although NORFLOX TZ is prescription based and should not be advised here, since you already started it you can continue it.
Take ORS packets 200ml, every 4 hours for one day. Replace the fluid that you lose by one and half times.
The diet has to be restricted to banana, curd rice only for today and gradually to bread tomorrow. From day after you can have normal solid food.
Hope this is clear. Let me know if you have more queries else you may close our discussion.
