How to treat persistent diarrhea

Patient's question:

Before, I had dysentery. At first, I thought it was because I drank too much beer and hurt my stomach. I took some stomach medicine, but it didn't get better, so I went to the hospital and they gave me intravenous drips to treat the dysentery. It's been half a month, and my stomach still doesn't feel quite comfortable. What kind of medicine should I take to get better?

Doctor's answer:

Due to intestinal cramps, abdominal pain may occur. Keeping the abdomen warm can relieve intestinal cramps, thereby reducing pain. When sleeping, cover the abdomen to prevent exposure to cold; when the ambient temperature is too low, a hot water bag can be used for cold compress. It is recommended to take antibiotics continuously, such as cefixime, in combination with montmorillonite, and closely monitor the condition. Generally, it takes 3-5 days to recover. Short-term effects are not guaranteed for bacterial infections. Pay attention to hygiene.
