Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX, Welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
It seems like you're suffering from Acute Gastro Enteritis(stomach bug in other words)..
Nothing to worry , just follow the advice immediately,
To start with, you need to maintain hydration(most important).. Drink only mineral water.. Also take WHO-ORS solution XXXXXXX and dissolve the whole XXXXXXX in 1 Ltr of mineral water and drink it up gradually over the next 2 hrs..
Then take another XXXXXXX , dissolve in 1 Ltr mineral water and drink it over next 4 Hrs then take the third XXXXXXX and dissolve in another Ltr of mineral water and drink it over the next 14-16 hrs..
As most of Acute infective diarrhoea is bacterial in origin, you need to start antibiotic straight away..
Tab METRONIDAZOLE 400 mg three times a day for next 10 days
Tab OFLOXACIN 200 mg twice daily for the next 10 days..(these are prescription medications and need to check into your local physician to get them)
It's good that you've started Bifilac, continue it for next 2-3 days but I'd advice you to stop those enzymes that you're taking..
Shivering is an early sign of fever, please take Tab PARACETAMOL 650 mg Three times daily for next 2-3 days..
Also take Cap PANTOPRAZOLE 40mg Once Daily 20-30 min before breakfast for next 2 weeks
Also try to remember what is it that might've caused this .. Any outside foods ?? any outside drinks ??
Please avoid any kind of outside food and eat only home cooked simple meals.. Try to take natural probiotic like yogurt.. it'll help you recover faster..
With all these you should get better within a few days so no need to worry..
Let me know if there's any further query.. Please don't delay any more and implement the therapy immediately..
Get Well soon..
Kind Regards
