Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Antibiotics are required for diarrhea. Diarrhea will lead to dehydration, so stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and juices throughout the day.

I suggest you take (consult with the specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take the medication with their consent) tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once before a meal and take one pack of Oral Rehydration Salt (Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, and Glucose Monohydrate) and mix it in 4.17 cups of water and drink it throughout the day.

Please let me know how many times have you passed stool? Was it watery? May I know your age?

Thank you.
