Gastroenteritis with bacterial infection
I am suffering from Severe Gastroenteritis from past 2 weeks. The blood and stool tests reports are normal. Doctor says there is some Bacterial infection which is why I'm being medicated with Piptaz injection via saline twice a day. Its been 2 weeks and I'm still sick and worried now.
[ ] Loose motion can be due to bowel infection or some times drug induced.The most important aspect is to take plenty of oral liquids / ORS powder 2-3 teaspoon in one glass of Luke warm water for 3-4 times a day.Probiotics help a lot in this respect. There are certain anti secretory medicines and antibiotics used to combact intractable diarrhoea. Chronic diarrhoea happens mainly due irritable bowel syndrome which has a totally different line of management.Be on semisolid / liquid diet. Feel free to ask any further quary related to this
