I am suffering from loose motion for 3 days. 1st day I took 2 doses of norflox by myself - no improvement. 2nd day - medical shop gave orginyl-o, took it 2 times. 3rd day - went to phac - taken 2 doses of ciplox-500, but still no improvement. Loose motion usually lasts for a day, but mine is 3 days causing weakness. How long it takes ciplox-500 to work? Should I continue with it? Or should I consult another doctor.

Only orginyl-o combination was the preferred medicine. The rest would not work. However, along with the medicine, ors should have been included. Also, it takes time for an infection to subside so a full course of the antibiotics is needed. Please send a stool sample for r/m and c/s test and start ors. Change diet to liquid, if tolerated, gradually take semisolid easily digestible foods. Ymost loose motions will be of a viral cause in which case, this much will be sufficient. If however, you do not feel better in a day, you can go back to the antibiotic after sending a sample. Hope this helps.
