Continue the medication for atleast 5-6 days.
O2 contains Oflox and Ornidazole.
These antibiotics need to be taken for the whole course duration otherwise there may be incomplete treatment and a subsequent relapse of diarrhoeal episode.
Next Steps
1. Continue Medication
2. Take ORS to prevent dehydration
3. Take non spicy diet
4. Isabgol 1 tsp in buttermilk -- twice daily

You should continue O2 for 5 days despite relief in symptoms to prevent antibiotic resistance and further infection which can be more serious. For any further queries kindly take an instant consultation
