Suggest Remedy For Diarrhea And Frequent Bowel Movement
Question: I have a bowel movement 3-4 times a week. After I have the bowel movement, whether it is normal or hard, I have diarrhea 1-4 times during the next 2-3 hours. Do you know why?
Brief Answer:
Might be Gastroenteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understand your situation properly. It is very important to know since how many days are you having this symptoms. If it is for few days to a week, you might be having gastroenteritis.
If i were your doctor i would have treated you with a tablet with a combination of norfloxacin and tinidazole to kill infection in your intestines.This would have given you relief.Because this is a prescription drug you have to visit a doctor for the same.
If after this medicine your symptoms do not subside, then you should go for a stool test to know the exact organism causing this.
In the meantime;
Please drink ORS whenever you have diarrhea.
Do not take Imodium without any doctor's advice because it might just stop you diarrhea for few hours but not cure the underlying cause.
Eat proper diet.
Hope this explanation helped.Feel free to ask more.I would be more than happy to help you.
Regards
