HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrhea may not need any treatment because it can be self limiting condition and if it not comes around then it could be the protozoa condition clinical finding can diagnosed and for that Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days can be tried, if this fails to work then condition may requires investigations like stool culture sensitivity test, imaging studies and others hope this information helps.
