Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve had diarrhea 4 to 5 times a day for the last week. Some days I seem to feel some better then it starts again. I ve been eating Activia Probiotic Yogurt 4 or 5 times a day and I seem to feel better after I eat it. I seem to feel tired and drained.
Advice 1. Ciprofloxacin 500 mg every 12 hours orally for 5 days 2. Metronidazole 400 mg every 8 hours orally after meal for 5 days 3. Albendazole 400 mg empty stomach in the morning – one dose only 4. Electral powder – dissolve in 1 liter of water and drink frequently. You can use other over the counter ORS 5. Eat small, frequent meals to allow the stomach to digest foods gradually 6. Drink 4 – 5 liters of water daily to avoid dehydration 7. Investigation – R/E of stool Thanks
