Suggest Remedy For Intermittent Diarrhea Due To Nora Virus
I have had diarrhea on and off for the last month or so after supposedly having the Nora Virus. My Doctor suggested that it became ongoing due to a newfound lactose intolerance, but having cut out all dairy from my diet there's been no change. I've been self-medicating with loperamide capsules in the hopes that it just went away, but it hasn't. It's really getting me down. What should I do?

Hello,
Primary working guidelines in this regard
- Plenty of liquids to maintain hydration levels.
- Dietary measures strictly to be followed.
- Avoid loperamide, instead get prescription of probiotics with lactobacillus, GI antibiotic with metronidazole on the pack for better results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
