For diarrhea youtake some antibiotics like norflox-tz or oflox-oz after an expert opinion along with meftal-spaz or cyclopam for the abdominal pain. If still not improved then you have to go for abdominal ultrasound to isolate the cause. Give tab nitazoxanide for 5 days to completely get rid off diarrhea. Drinkplenty of oral fluids or ORS to maintain the hydration of your body.
