Loose motions can be controlled with tab imodium 4 mg stat followed by 2 mg 2 hrly till motion stops.
If loose motion still persist then tab metrogyl or inj octreotide subcutaneously is an option.
Stool culture needs to be done and if any growth is found then appropriate antibiotic has to be started.
