For diarrhea and vomiting you can take oflox-oz or norflox-tz after an expert opinion along with ibugesic-plus or meftal-plus for stomach. Take pantop-d or rekool-d empty stomach for severe nausea along with nitazoxanide for 5 days to get rid of diarrhea completely. Drink plenty of oral fluid or ORS or vital-z powder as much as possible to maintain the hydration of your body.
