Hi,

Noted the history about your 16 year old daughter and understood the concerns well.
Since Ofloxacin is not helping to get a control over green stool I would advise her the following:
Send the sample of stools for lab for three consecutive days.
Get the relevant blood tests like CBC, kidney, thyroid and liver functions.
Change over to another antibiotic may help.
Also get checked for typhoid.
Continue the probiotics and Ofloxacin till then.
Soft and bland diet.
Plenty of oral fluids and electrolyte solution.
Also give multivitamins and mineral as one loses a lot in green watery diarrhea.
Symptomatic and supportive treatment as needed will be given.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
