Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your stomach infection is resolving since you are not having active diarrhoea or vomiting.
Just continue with sporolac for a few days.
Avoid eating outside and eat bland home made hot food.
In future if such infection occurs in severe manner, ciplox tz can be taken after consulting your doctor.
All the best
