My wife has been suffering from constant stomach pain for the last 15 to 20 days. We visited a doctor and had a blood test that confirmed typhoid. She has been taking medication prescribed by the doctor for one week. After that, we did another blood test and stool examination as advised, and the doctor said the typhoid is cured, but there is still a stomach infection because there is some blood in the stool. She was given another three day course of medicine, but there has been no improvement. Please suggest what we should do next.

Persistent symptoms despite treatment may indicate another type of infection, inflammation or intestinal issue. A stool culture or endoscopy might help. Please consult a gastroenterologist.

My occult blood report is not detected, but there is blood in my stool in physical examination. Is it a cause of concern?

I have been experiencing abdominal pain and diarrhea for the past 2 days. My stool test shows infection with Giardia lamblia. My doctor prescribed Ornidazole 500 mg, 2 tablets per day for 5 days. I would like to know whether Metronidazole is more effective than Ornidazole, or if Ornidazole alone is sufficient for treating this infection.

Hi sir or madam, for the last 3 months, my baby motions are watery, sometimes semi solid, and sometimes semi solid with mucus. It happens daily up to 8 times. I have attached the report in this mail. Please share what kind of problem this could be. The doctor told us to stop breastfeeding. Is this correct? What should I do? My baby is 6 months old.
