Hi doctor,
I am suffering from loose motion since today morning. Can you suggest a medicine?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Loose motion usually spontaneously subsides within a day or two. Usually people who travel more frequently will get affected easily and hence it is advised for them to take ORS with them.
Let us have ORS (oral rehydration salt) solution, and take a few sips for every few minutes. And after loose motion, wait for a while and then have ORS to compensate for the water that is lost.
Eat bland diet. Avoid milk, spicy and fatty food. Preferably eat bananas, rice and other light food.
Loose motion should subside by this. However, if it is not controlled in a day or two, take tablet O2 (Ofloxacin and Ornidazole combination) twice a day for five days. This is an antibiotic which is useful in bacterial infections. If the infection is viral, antibiotics have no role. It needs to be just treated by ORS solution itself.
