Hi,
Noted your detailed history about your Father about asthma, medications, taking Monocef and Mahaflox that might have developed into passing small quantity of motions 7 - 8 times a day, Doctor started with Econorm sachets.
Yes, the commonest cause of GI Disturbance is antibiotics hence I would advise your Father the following:
First of all send the samples of stool for lab test.
Send blood for CBC, sugar, liver functions and as needed.
Continue Econorm sachets as these are probiotics.
To take Curds and Bananas if these suits him and does not increase his asthma.
Further management as per the reports of stool and blood.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
