You can give her oral rehydration solution (ORS) to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, you can give her Loperamide at a dose of 2mg to help with the loose motions. If she is still feeling nauseous, you can give her Ondansetron at a dose of 4mg orally, dissolved on the tongue, up to three times a day. However, it is important to monitor her symptoms and if there is no improvement or if she gets worse, please seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with constant diarrhea for the last couple of days, and even though I'm taking loperamide and using O.R.S., it hasn't stopped. Should I be worried? Is there anything else I can do to help stop it?

Question

I've been dealing with pain in the upper right side of my abdomen for about 34 days now. I decided to get an SGPT test and my results came back at 68 points, which I know is on the high side. At first, I tried taking Silymarin 140 mg tablets but didn't see much improvement. Now I'm on Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets, 300 mg twice a day, and I've been doing that for the last 2 days, but my liver pain hasn't eased up. What should I do next?

Question

I keep finding mucus in my stool, and it's accompanied by stomach pain and going to the bathroom about three times a day. Plus, I've had no appetite. I've already tried metronidazole for a couple of days, taking two tablets after meals, but it hasn't seemed to help, and this problem keeps coming back. What could be going on, and what should I do to treat it?
