Question: Hello doc, I am suffering from loose motion for the past 1 day. No vomiting and stomach pain, jst the stomach growls a lot. No loss of apetite or taste. Could you suggest any quick remedies?
Brief Answer:
as suggested
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
This may be a mild form of gastroenteritis or food poisoning where your body has already taken care of.
It is good that there are no other symptoms.
You may take Curds and banana, activated charcoal tablet, probiotics capsule available in medical stores. Electral podwer ( if you are not diabetic.)- one packet in one liter of boiled and cooled water. Take fresh homemade foods and boiled and cooled water only.
But be on the watch. If you develop any of symptoms or the frequency of loose motions increase, you may have to take antibiotics and supportive medicines as per the symptoms.
Feel free to ask for more if you need to.

Thank you doc, should I avoid milk and milk products? How long should I wait before taking medical attention?
Brief Answer:
ASAP.
Detailed Answer:
If you are not known to be allergic to milk and milk products, there is no reason to avoid them.
Ideally one should take medical attention as early as possible; before complications occur. It gives you the chance to be seen by a qualified Doctor so that He/ She checks the vitals ( pulse, BP, temperature, any dehydration, examines the abdomen ) too. He also knows the type of enteritis going on in that particular area; whether water-borne, flu and so on.
I can understand that many people / patients would not like to see the Doctor immediately

Thank you doc, as of today I can see that the motion is not fully fluid and I see some solid chunks as well. Can it be seen as a sign of recovery? I am not observing any signs of dehydration either. I am averse to take unnecessary medication especially antibiotics if I am already on the path of recovery and hence asking this question.
