General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hello,
No need to give Flagyl again as it can also worsen the problem. Probiotics containing saccharomyces boulardii will be helpful. You can also give banana and rice porridge mixed with curd. If no improvement then get a stool routine examination and culture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Nishad BN
