However she is lately suffering from diarrhea with no control. She has 7-8 times motion in a day with more of a liquid form. Sir can u suggest any medicine or treatment to the ailing patient.

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for the query.
Common cause of diarrhea would be infection. Thus she should take a course of antibiotics under the supervision of a physician.
If the symptoms persist she should do stool exam to rule out other non infective causes of diarrhoea.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
