Hi,
Noted the history about your mother getting watery diarrhea for 15 days. The stool reports pus cells of 6-8, RBCs of 4-6 and occult blood is positive, has been given Tinidazole 500 twice daily, Cefixime 400 once daily for 10 days and Mebeverine, needs advise.
As per the history you have provided about your 65 year old mother, this looks to be entero-colitis hence pus cells are present along with watery diarrhea, RBCs and occult blood indicate that there is an active bleeding in the intestinal tract. I would advise you the following:
- To complete the course of Tinidazole and Cefixime.
- Add on a PPI like Omeprazole, probiotics, activated charcoal and to take Mebeverine only if there is pain.
This should sole her problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
