Your aunt should see a doctor as soon as possible, because persistent diarrhoea in an HIV patient may indicate an underlying infection or complication that Eldoper Capsule (Loperamide) cannot treat. Do not give any additional anti-diarrhoeal medicines without medical advice. Ensure she stays hydrated with oral rehydration salts until she is examined.
