Hello,

The treatment of persistent diarrhea is as follows:
1) Continuous replenishment of fluids and electrolytes
2) Oral rehydration solution ORS sachets will be available at drug stores and these are to be mixed with water and consumed
3) Tab. Lomotil can be taken to control diarrhea
4) Avoid fruits and other fiber rich foods and stool softeners.
5) Diarrhea gets controlled in a day or 2 with Lomotil?
6) If Lomotil doesn't improve your symptoms, tab. Loperamide can be taken 3-4 times in a day

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

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
