Suggest Treatment For Loose Motions

Hi Doc I have had loose motions nonstop since yesterday. I have been abusing my stomach with eating out, eating junk food and alcohol almost every day. Now i cant eat or drink anything. last night I had NorfloxTZ and Econorm. Feeling a bit better now but I haven t eaten in 15 hours with the fear of running back to the toilet.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain loose motions or diarrhea can occur due to causes like Gastroenteritis or stomach infection, viral infection or stomach flu, parasites infection, food intolerance, side effects of certain medications, food allergies etc..
Many a times you need not to take any antibiotics or other infection medications and simple home remedies and anti diarrhea medicines will relieve..
You can start with fluid replacement therapy like drinking lots or oral rehydration solution to cover for water and electrolyte loss..
You can take anti diarrhea medicine like Loperamide..
Take banana and cereals in diet..
You can also take more of yoghurt and rice in diet..
In case if the condition worsen or there is no improvement you can consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical evaluation and stool tests and advise you treatment accordingly..
Antibiotics can be advised for bacterial infection while anti parasitic drugs like Albendazole for parasitic infesation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
