Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query
You are suffering from gastroenteritis. I would initially suggest you to go for a test called stool routine and microscopy. Presence of bacteria or protozoa in stool can be tested. Some times infestation by toxic bacteria's destroys natural gut flora(good bacteria like lactobacillus) and can cause loose motion etc.
Initially I would suggest you to
Take a probiotic daily for few days along with Metamucil 2 tsp before going to bed to add bulk to stools.
Take a good quality probiotic like Econorm three times a day for atleast a week.
Medications that can be discussed with your gastroenterologist are-
-Antispasmodics are used to control muscle spasms in the large intestine.
-Antidiarrhoeal medicines Loperamide 4mg stat fpollowed by 2mg twice daily to control the symptoms of diarrhoea.
In case stool routine and sensitivity is positive for bacteria or protozoa therapy with cefixime and ornidazole could be taken for 7 days.
-Tab Nexium 40 mg twice daily for relief in gases.
Regards.
