Stomach issue
My father, who is aged about 89, has been suffering from stomach issues from the past 15 days. In a day, he will have both loose motions as well as constipation, and his stomach is bloated. We showed it to the doctor and they told him. It is a stomach infection, and they gave some antibiotics but even with that, it is not improving. So can anyone please tell me some home remedy for this issue as my father’s age is 89 years old.
