Hello,

As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this -

1) Do a clinical examination by your doctor [Gastro] and do [Stool ] examination to confirm it.

2) Drink plenty of water [ORS] to prevent dehydration and discuss with your doctor antibiotics [Ciprofloxacin] if infection due to bacterial infection.

3) Do take your medications as usual, and it has no relation to your problem.

Do follow lifestyle modifications like this -

1) Try to wash your hands, utensils and food surfaces often. Wash your hands well with warm, soapy water before and after handling or preparing food. Use hot, soapy water to wash utensils, cutting boards and other surfaces you use.

2) Try to keep raw foods separate from ready-to-eat foods. When shopping, preparing food or storing food, keep raw meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish away from other foods. It prevents cross-contamination.

3) Try to cook foods to a safe temperature. The best way to tell if foods are cooked to a safe temperature is to use a food thermometer. You can kill harmful organisms in most foods by cooking them to the right temperature.

4) Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods promptly within two hours of purchasing or preparing them. If the room temperature is above 90 F (32.2 C), refrigerate perishable foods within one hour.

5) If you aren't sure if a food has been prepared, served or stored safely, discard it. Food left at room temperature too long may contain bacteria or toxins that can't be destroyed by cooking. Don't taste food that you're unsure about just throw it out.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
