Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea

My 12 year old son is having diarrhea from past 8 days. He is having still green brawn watery motion 7-8 times a day. He is taking Metrygyl 400 three times a day and having proper diet control. We are keeping him hydrated so he is not feeling weak. Any suggestions?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking HCM
If a patient like your son come to my clinic I would have prescribed him T. O2 twice a day for 5 days. cp. neutrollin B twice daily for 5 days. since they are prescription medications please consult with your local doctor before taking it.
Advice:
1. Plenty of liquids.(coconut water, pomogranet juice, sweet lime etc).
2. Avoid spices, oily, fried stuffs altogether.
3. Soups, tea, coffee, dry biscuits, fruits like banana, watermelon, muskmelon, pears will do.
4. Rice kanji, khichdi, thin watery daal can be given.
5. Avoid outside food altogether.
if not responded to above measures then Stool ( routine&culture) would be indicated.
Thanks.
