Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The causes of Diarrhea are:
1. Colitis
2. Stomach infection
3. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

You can take tablet Norflox Tz, Electral sachet with water, and tablet Redotil. Drink a lot of fluids, take light diet with high fiber content. The treatment depends upon the underlying conditions and kindly do the follow-up with detailed history or consult with the physician.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
