Hello,

The basic issue is to treat the underlying causative infection for early recovery. In our clinic, we recommend
- Stool culture report and antibiotics accordingly.
- Diet measure to avoid nonveg, spices.
- More intake of green leafy veg, organic fresh fruits, cereals, pulses help.
- Lifestyle modifications with regular walking, exercises are needed too.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
