HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms of diarrhea of your husband could be due to protozoa infection and in my opinion it need to be treated with Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days along with this Lyophilized Lactobacillus can be tried, take care for dehydration, if the symptoms persist then stool needs to be sent for culture sensitivity test hope this information helps.
