Suggest Medication For Diarrhea
Question: hy dr..can u please tell me why my doctor has not given me something to stop diahrea? bcz i still have water like stool. and the medicine he given to me are i think not to stop diahrea. please suggest me if something is required
Brief Answer:
Please follow advice as below
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
The medicines he prescribed were for stomach hyperacidity problems only.
You can still take tasectan or caoline based med to stop diarrhea and probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora. They won't interfere with the meds you are already taking.
The diarrhea will stop in a couple of days after starting the meds I suggested.
Do not forget to keep well hydrated, drink plenty of water with OTC ORS and avoid oily /chilly foods. Avoid coffee or chocolate.
Hope it helped.

i dont know why my doctor has done such mistake he did not give me any diahrea medicine . i will take the medicine which u have suggested. does these medicine like buscopan can change the urine color i feel it is dark ?
Brief Answer:
High concentrated urine suspected
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
I have reviewed all your medical history and my suggestions are based on your reports.
Buscopan is an antispasmodic medication to ease abdominal spasms
Sometimes it can cause dark urine due to high concentrated urine. However, diarrhea is causing dehydration, which at the same time can cause high concentrated urine with dark color.
Do not worry. If it will persist for a few more days, should run urine analysis for further evaluation.
Wish fast recovery.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic to fight infection. However, in cases of alteration in intestinal flora and Candida overgrowth, cipro won't help.
As you have already started this med, I advise to continue taking it as prescribed. Meanwhile, take probiotics to stabilize altered intestinal flora.
Wait for a few more days for symptoms to subside.
Wish fast recovery.

Brief Answer:
You are taking meds not to feel the problems anymore
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
1. The vibrations you are feeling are due to stomach gas. Do not worry it will be settled soon.
2. The meds you are taking will help improve your actual problems even if you won't take them anymore. So, no worries. This is why you are taking them : fight the problems you are having, not to feel them anymore.
3. The pain on your sides to me sounds like muscular skeletal pain. Take acetaminophen to reduce the pain and apply warm pads.
Wish fast recovery.
