Brief Answer: Racecodotril. ORS. Fibrous diet. Detailed Answer: Hi, thanks for using HCM. I went through the query and understood your concern. If you have pain abdomen or fever along with foul smelling diarrhoea then you should take antibiotics. For spasmodic pain you can take antispasmodic drugs like dicyclomine with other supportive measures. (explained below) If only loose stool without any inflammatory signs, then antisecretary drugs like racecodotril will help in reducing the frequency and help in cure. Along with the above said you should drink plenty of water (ORS will be better) to keep you hydrated well. Have good nutritious food and plenty of green leafy vegetables. I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them. Wish you good health and faster recovery. Regards
