Hello,

To get relief you should take anti diarrheals like Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol). Imodiun and Lomotil are equally effective. You can take any one of the medicine after taking some food or biscuits. Keep yourself well hydrated. Take adequate amount of water and fluids.

Boil two raw banana, mash it and add salt to taste and eat it. If required you can repeat after 3-4 hrs. You will feel much better. You can also take a cup of white tapioca pearls and boil it, add few teaspoonful of sugar. Eat it. It will help to control diarrhea. In the meantime get stool examination(R/E & C/S) done. If infection is detected you will be treated with a course of antibiotics. You can take antacids to prevent bloating and acidity. Avoid taking processed, packaged food.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
