Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM with a health query.

You have got loose stools,mild fever and you have taken antibiotic and anti motility drug too.. Good.

Do not be panic..You are correct only.

If you are not throwing up you can start on probiotics either as capsule or sachet or take plenty of yogurt or curd (natural probiotics).

Since you are not throwing up you replenish yourself with plenty of oral fluids like tender coconut water,fresh fruit juices etc..

Hope this helps..

Take care..
