I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing persistent loose motions with oily stools, cramping abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. These symptoms can be distressing, especially when initial treatment with ofloxacin (an antibiotic) hasn't helped.
Oily stools and cramping may suggest malabsorption or an ongoing infection that might not be fully addressed by the current medication. Ofloxacin combined with ornidazole (as in Zenflox-OZ) is typically used for bacterial and some protozoan infections causing diarrhea, but if symptoms persist beyond 36 hours, it could indicate a resistant infection, a different cause such as viral gastroenteritis, or another gastrointestinal issue.
Recommendations:
Please consult a specialist doctor soon to get appropriate investigations and tailored treatment. Your symptoms warrant professional assessment to ensure proper management and recovery.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender. I understand you've been having loose motions for a while now.
