Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Based on the description that you gave, its most likely related to gastroenteritis. Stool routine examination including for ova and parasites should be done. If evidence of infection and parasitic infestation is found then secnidazole single 2 g stat dose can be advised. Most likely the symptoms will resolve. If there is associated fever, blood in stool and leukocytosis then a quinolone such as ciprofloxacin may also need to be added to the empiric treatment. Mebeverine can be advised for spastic condition of the GI tract. Try to avoid spicy food and increase fluid and fiber intake.

Hello again.

This can occur as the cause is difficult to predict most of the time. However, if the above workup is negative then probiotic treatment with eneterogermina should be tried along with fiber supplementation.

Hello again.

The frequency of every half an hour can be expected in such a condition. Be careful to add isotonic fluids in your oral intake to avoid dehydration. The rest of the management would remain the same as described in the previous reply.
