Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea
My 13 year old son has had diarrhea for 3 weeks now after attending a Y camp in Wisconsin. He was checked for giardia and other diseases with a stool check and all came back negative. He now has swelling around one of his achilles tendons and has some new bumps on his shins. He does not seem to be getting any better with his stools either.

For severe diarrhea give your son some antibiotics like norflox-tz or oflox-oz after an expert opinion along with meftal-spaz or cyclopam for the abdominal pain. Give cap rekool-d or omez-d empty stomach. If still not improved then you have to go for abdominal ultrasound to isolate the cause. Give him tab nitazoxanide for 5 days to completely get rid off diarrhea.
