Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother is an 81-year-old woman who has age related diabetes under control. From last 3 days she had loose motion and has become weak. We gave her electrol liquid in between and she has taken curd rice for food. Today she is complaining of leg pain and back pain. Can u suggest what medicine to be given for her for this
Uncontrolled diabetis can lead loose motion.... Here also there can be possibility of acute gastroenteritis .....
In diarrhea along with fluid electrolytes can be lost.... Electrolyte depletion can lead muscular pain... So main hydration with lots of fluid and electrolyte or ORS can be taken to replace lost electrolyte... Banana can be useful as they can restore list electrolyte like pottasium....
Take oflixacin like antibiotic....
Probiotic tablet can be taken.....
Avoid non veg and junk foods.....
If still no benefit then stool examination done for parasites.... If ameba like infection present then ornidazole taken...
If still no benefit USG like investigation done... Take care.
