1.Complete the prescribed 3-day course of Podot as per the doctor’s advice. However, antibiotics should not be overused in simple diarrhea.
2.Reintroduce probiotics (like Enterogermina or Econorm) to restore gut flora.
3.Monitor diet – Avoid excessive dairy, fruit juices, and processed foods. Increase fibers like bananas, rice, and curd.
4.Hydration is key – ORS (oral rehydration solution) if stools remain loose.
