Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for asking query on HealthcareMagic.
Have seen your details,
The main function of a part called colon of large intestine is to absorb water from fecal matter.I would suggest you to add Isabghul husk which imbibes extra water swells up and add bulk to stools.
Secondly increase Imodium 4 mg to twice or thrice daily for 3 days till stool is dry and well formed.
If Racicadotryl is available in your country take 100 mg three times a day.It prevents secretion of mucous and water from inflammed intestines.
If it's not available just take imodium.
Eat light food.
Give time to your intestines to recover.
You would be fine soon.

Hope I was helpful,
Regards

Thank you for your prompt reply. I think that my problem is the result of a cold which
just broke out a few hours ago. I will increase the imodium as you suggested.
