Brief Answer:
Gastroenteritis probably...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This probably seems to be related to a stomach bug - a gut infection. How many episodes of loose stools does she have in a day? Is the stool watery or semiformed?

She can continue taking norflox tablet as advised by the doctor. In addition, she can take a proton pump inhibitor like Cap Nexpro L twice daily half an hour before food. Start ORS for fluid replacement.

If symptoms persist or if the abdominal pain is severe, it would be wise to see her doctor.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
