Your mother has tried O2 (Ofloxacin), Norflox-TZ (Norfloxacin+Tinidazole), and Satrogyl (Secnidazole) but the infection is not clearing. This suggests either resistant bacteria or that she needs a different approach. Instead of trying more antibiotics randomly, she needs proper testing. A stool culture test will tell us exactly which bacteria is causing the infection and which antibiotic will work against it. Without this test, we're just guessing. However, if she's still having severe symptoms and can't wait for test results, there are other options we can try. But continuing antibiotics without improvement for too long can make things worse by killing good gut bacteria.
Next Steps
1. FIRST - Get stool test done: Stool culture and sensitivity test - This will show exactly which antibiotic will work 2. MEANWHILE - Try Rifaximin 200mg tablets - Take 3 times daily for 3 days (this is a different antibiotic that works for gut infections) 3. For stomach pain: Continue Pantoprazole 40mg before breakfast 4. For diarrhea: Take Econorm or Bifilac sachets - 2 times daily (replaces good bacteria) 5. ORS solution: Mix 1 packet in 1 liter water and drink throughout the day - prevents dehydration 6. Diet: Only curd/rice, banana, toast, boiled potatoes - NO spicy food, milk, or fried items 7. See a gastroenterologist if diarrhea continues for more than 3 days despite treatment 8. Stop all previous antibiotics - don't take O2, Norflox or Satrogyl anymore
Health Tips
⚠️ URGENT - Go to hospital immediately if: - Blood in stool (red or black color) - High fever over 102°F - Severe weakness or fainting - Unable to drink water (signs of severe dehydration) - No urine for 6+ hours ✅ Good news: - Most gut infections clear with right antibiotic - Stool test will give exact answer - Recovery usually happens in 3-5 days with proper treatment 🚫 STOP doing these: - Don't keep taking same antibiotics that aren't working - Don't eat outside food or street food - No milk products (except curd) - Don't take anti-diarrhea medicines without doctor advice 💡 Important: - Dehydration is the biggest danger - keep drinking ORS - Probiotics (Econorm/Bifilac) are essential after antibiotics - Wash hands frequently to prevent spreading infection - Use separate utensils for your mother
