Hello,
What is the complaint? Did you take Prednisone? What is the dose and duration?
Diarrhea, pain and abdomen cramps may be due to enteritis. Take Electrol powder 1 packet in one litter water and drink. This is to clear dehydration and electrolyte loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. C. Elanchezhian, General & Family Physician
