Diarrhoea for last 5 days

2017-05-21 11:34:02
My Father is having diarrhoea for the last 5 days. We gave him Ridol or Lomofen 2 times a day for the last 4 days. We started antibiotics Norflox-TZ since yday (1-x-1) but still it continues. We tried homemade remedies like nutmeg also without success. He is barely eating little rice or idli. What to be done to stop this? Thanks

U need to admit him , and start on IV antibiotics along with IV fluids to prevent dehydration. If he is unable to take anything orally.
