Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Continued loose motions in spite of Norflox, Econorm and Tinilox indicate that you still have intestinal infection that has not been controlled by the correct treatment.
This indicates that you may need another antibiotic active against intestinal infection and investigations of the blood for CBC, Typhoid, thyroid and liver function. May be blood culture and sensitivity helps to get the correct diagnosis and helps in planning the treatment.
Also look for the source of intestinal infection like water and foods.
Go for boiled and cooled water, fresh homemade food only.
Also watch for any foods and beverages that enhance the problems and stop these.
Take curds/yogurt, banana and activated charcoal tablets.
Send stool for test for two more days to get any additional information.
Ultrasonography or CT scan helps to know whether there is any other problems like diverticulitis or any other inflammatory pathology.
Colonoscopy may be needed.
