Diarrhea after spicy food

Asked for Female, 31 years

I ate lots of green chili pakoras with green chutney. From the next day, I started feeling a burning sensation inside the stomach and, then started the loose motion, nearly 10 times. I took Norflox TZ for next 2 days, It fixed the issue. Now, everything seems well, except my stool is still not normal. I feel a temporary pain at the right lower stomach although it is less frequent now. Please guide what to do

Dear Patient,

I'm afraid the course of antibiotics you took was insufficient. Kindly start it again and take it for a complete 5-7day period REGARDLESS OF IMPROVEMENT. Inability to finish the course of antibiotics can make you resistant to them. If you experience unusual pain in the stomach you can take a tablet of nospa before meals up to three times in one day if need be. Avoid spicy foods. Take plain foods like khichri, yogurt, banana, and ispaghol. Take probiotic like enflor or biflor after every loose stool.
