Brief Answer:
Stop Lactihep

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

You have mentioned that your mother is taking Lactihep. Lactihep is a laxative. That might be the reason why she is having loose stools.
Tell her to stop taking Lactihep.

Let her continue taking ORS till loose stool stops.

I hope that answers your query.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
