Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
This is typically travelers' diarrhea.

If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Rifaximin 200 mg thrice a day for 5 days, if not allergic to. You need a prescription from your physician for the same.

Plus take Omeprazole and Imodium both by mouth. Take Pedialyte 5 times a day to rehydrate yourself.

If condition worsens, consult a Gastroentrologist for proper evaluation and treatment accordingly.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
