Hi,
Alternate diarrhea & constipation suggests amoebic infection/ viral infection.. Please get your stools examined for routine & microscopic . You will need an experts guidance for the proper treatment after confirming the basic cause.
The zincolac b is a lactobasillus supplement,given to fulfill the loss of these friendly bacteria ,due to intestinal problems.You will have to take it till you get rid of present bowel problem.
Actually you will need a repeated & prolonged specific treatment to get rid of amoeba. & a specific treatment for viral infection too.( whatever is needed)
Following care to be taken on personal level -to combat the problem,
- take light,refreshing & easy to digest diet.
- lot of fluids with salt & shuger to maintain water & electrolyte balance.(ORT powder is best.).Drink boiled water only.Curd milk with pinch of salt & asafoetida is good.
-Avoid spicy,oily food.
- Stick to the treatment regimen advised strictly.
