Brief Answer:
A probiotic will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that your husband might be often taking medicines, especially antibiotics for cold and fever.
Antibiotics usually disturb the normal flora of useful bacteria present in the intestines. These bacteria help in the process of digestion and absorption. This can result in frequent loose motions. This can be treated by taking a probiotic.
I would advise that he should be given a probiotic daily along with digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals.
He should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Also take care of his hydration.
If the symptoms persists, get him examined by a medical professional.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
