Hi,

Thanks for reverting.

Please continue the medication given for couple of days. After couple of days, if you fail to respond, you may need to add an antibiotic. This can be done after consulting your physician.
I would like to reassure you that some form of change in consistency can be expected. There is no reason to worry for this.
Continue taking plenty of liquids and a light diet as advised.

Regards,

Hi,

I would suggest you to attend the ER as soon as possible. I suspect it to be infective in nature ,hence you may need antibiotics to bring the problem under control .

Meanwhile do consume oral rehydrating solutions like REBALANZ or Electrol continuously.Do not take any hard or spicy foods.

Depending on the dehydration occurred in you , you may be needing Intravenous fluids also.

Take care
