I am suffering from loose motions since yesterday evening. I need to go every 5-6 hours. I have taken one tablet of Loperamide Hydrochloride Capsule about 2 hours back but still no relief. I am also having Electral solution to avoid dehydration. Can you please suggest me if i am on right path or guide me please?

Hi,

Symptoms of diarrhoea and dehydration seem to be due to gastroenteritis leading to poisoning symptoms and could be due to a systemic condition. I would suggest you to:

- Drink plenty of water and avoid food like nuts and seas food.
- Take probiotics food like yoghurt in the diet.
- Avoid any kind of exertion/stress.
- Take a light walk after every meal.

You should consult a gastroenterologist for proper examination. The doctor will make history and do a vital examination and prescribe blood tests. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications along with Omeprazole and anti-emetic drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
