Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM
I understood your query.
Please tell what kind of stomach problem you have and what you feel regarding your stomach problem?
It's better to avoid oily spicy food and drink plenty of water. You can take antacids before meal for your gastric upset.
Yes, Azithromycin is good antibiotic that will help to cure throat infection. But take Azithro with antacids as it can cause stomach problem.
For loose stool, take soft diet and take ORS powder for fluid replacement . Dissolve the packet of ORS powder in warm water and take it. Take probiotics for three days to restore your gut flora.
Hope you are satisfied with my answer. you can ask any query directly to me
thanks

Detailed Answer:
Welcome
I understood your query.
First of all, if you have habit of smoking or alcohol, i suggest you to give it up.
Alcohol has bad effect on liver that causes elevation of liver enzymes although your report is normal.
Loose motions are not related with the liver problem.
I advise to continue taking soft diet and avoid dehydration. ORS POWDER WILL SURELY HELP YOU. you can take prebiotics for 3 days more and avoid oily food. Also take antacids for 3 days. The problem will be solved in 3 days. Even if loose motion persist, then i advise antibiotics to my patient.
I am here to give you answer. Hope you are satisfied with my answer.
you can ask me direct question.
thanks

i understood your concern.
1st of all it is good that you have quit smoking and alcohol.
blackish watery stooll can be due to prence of intestinal infeton or it suggests presence of red cells in stool. I advice you to go for stool examination.
Have proper diet , green vegetables , salad and fruits .
In such cases, I advise to my patient to continue prebiotics ( sporolac - ds for 5 days) , with tab ofloxacin and ornidazole combination for five days. You will need prescription of these drugs by your doctor.
