HI
Well come to HCM
Imodium is not drug of choice here, this could cause paralytic ileus, this is not IBS, it seems a infection and bacterial infection is very likely, in my opinion condition can be well managed with "Tab Doxycycline 100 mg " once in day for 5 days, hope this information helps, take care.
