Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your question and understand it.
I have seen number of patients with same complain. So, I will definitely advise you to go for laboratory investigation of, Stool:- R & M, Blood:- CBC and USG-Abdomen to rule out the diagnosis and even better treatment. Stop eating solid diet. Take only liquid diet such as tea, coffee, coconut water and ORS- Electral powder 1 packet in 5 glasses of water, 2 packets /day.
Till the time you will go for investigation, you should go for Tablet- Milixim-OZ (if no allergy,) twice in a day at the interval of 12 hours for 5 days. Add Tablet- Dompan-SR (if no allergy), once in a day for 5 days. Also add Capsule- Vizylac-Rich (if no allergy), once in a day for 5 days and Tablet -Meftal-Spas (if no allergy), 3 times in a day at the interval of 7-8 hours for 3 to 5 days.
After doing these, I hope you will get well sooner and please share your reports on healthcare magic and further queries are always welcome. I would definitely like to answer them.
Wish you good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
