Brief Answer:
Symptoms last for 3-5 days in mild cases

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

This could be mild gastroenteritis.

It usually lasts for 3-5 days.

I advise you to take tab Pantop-D 40 mg once a day for 5 days on empty stomach.Please take this drug under doctor's supervision.

Drink plenty of fruit juices and water.

Electrobion sachets twice a day will help.

You will soon recover.This is all enough.

Antibiotics are need only in case symptoms persist beyond 1 week.

Thank you.
