Brief Answer:
Loss of appetite will come down gradually

Detailed Answer:
Hi
You might have acquired Infection of the gut due to food/water.Secnil will cause stomach irritation,nausea etc in few individuals.It might be the reason for loss of appetite.
As per your description,it looks like there is still some residual Infection in the gut.It might be the cause of these symptoms.You have taken Secnil which works in parasitic Infection.If the infection is due to Bacteria, you should take an Antibiotic.I prescribe Antibiotic like Rifaximine 200mg twice daily or Levofloxacin 250mg twice daily for 5 days to my patients with similar complaints.
If there is no response with Antibiotic, you should get investigated with Plain X-ray Abdomen in erect posture and Ultrasound abdomen.
Please consult a Gastroenterologist and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
Regards

Brief Answer:
You should take Zanocin for 5 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Antibiotic Zanocin has to be taken for 5 days.As you have taken for 2 days,some infection might be left behind and cause gut disturbances.
If possible, please take Levofloxacin 250mg twice daily after food instead of Zanocin (Ofloxacin).for 5 days.
Please get investigated if there is no response even after Levofloxacin.
Nothing to worry

Brief Answer:
It could be due to Flatulence

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Bloating and Heaviness can be due to Flatulence, infection of the gut can also cause the same picture.

Generally, in my patients, I prescribe Anti flatulent drugs initially. If there is no response, I'd investigate with the Ultrasound abdomen.

Hope I answered your question.
