Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Diarrheal disease that lasts for 5 days is a sign of infection.
I recommend :
-a physician consult
-antibiotics to treat the infection (norfloxacin with tinidazole) to be taken with food for 5 days.
- antiemetucs like Ondasetron for vomiting and pantoprazole for gastritis.
- lactobacillus supplements or active culture yogurt, twice a day
-stop sprite and other sugary stuff. It worsens diarrhea.
-take oral rehydration solutions like electral or Gatorade after every loose stool (about 200ml each time
-Have tender Coconut water, clear soups, rice water. Avoid spicy, oily food, milk.
Sip water or electrolyte solution throughout the day..
It will start to improve in 24 hrs but will take up to 10 days to resolve completely.
Diet restrictions should be followed for two weeks.
Hope this helps and you feel better.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
