Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. Well diarrhea is a common issue for many survivors after cervical cancer. If she is not febrile, then she can safely take a single time antimotility drugs like loperamide or immodium along with anti secretory drugs like racecadrotil. Hope it helps.
