Hi Srinivas
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* The weakness is secondary to fluid and electrolyte imbalance through
loss in diarrhea.
He needs specific care with GI specific antibiotics as rifaximin or metronidazole and probiotics as lacto bacillus for best recovery with oral rehydration salt and analgesic.
Take care.
Have a nice day.
