medicine to cure loose motion - #15430
I am really worried about my dad right now. For the last few days, he’s been having this really bad loose motion. At first, we thought it was just something he ate, but it hasn’t stopped. Like, he’s been to the bathroom every couple of hours. It’s crazy. I even looked up some home remedies and tried some ginger tea, but honestly nothing seems to be working. Last night he couldn't sleep and kept saying his stomach was killing him. I called his doctor, and they mentioned something about hydration and said to monitor his symptoms but didn't suggest any medicine to cure loose motion. I get that sometimes it can just be a wait and watch approach but I’m scared it might be something serious. He looks really drained and tired, way more than usual. Shouldn't he be taking some kind of medicine to cure loose motion instead of just waiting around? What do you all think? Are there any good over-the-counter options that actually work? Just feeling a bit helpless here and my mom is stressed too. Would really appreciate any advice on what kind of medicine to cure loose motion or even what signs we should really watch for. Thanks!
