General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello Dhananjay
I share your concern
Recurrent diarrhoea warrants further investigation to find out the underlying cause and treatment depends upon the responsible condition for diarrhoea.

I see pasting with similar complaints in my clinic and I would advise them for a battery of tests like stool test for ova, cyst or protozoa, CBC , liver function test, ultrasound or endoscopy

You should repeat the treatment rather you should go for these investigation
Meanwhile have plenty of fluids including ORS to counter dehydration and electrolytic imbalances
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
Wash your hands with an antiseptic soap or solution before and after eating or using wash room and maintain good hygiene

Hope this answers your question
Please write back to me with more relevant information like your age and frequency of diarrhoea so that I will.be able to tell you more precisely
Best wishes
