Persistent loose motions with oily stools and cramping despite taking Ofloxacin may suggest intestinal infection, food intolerance, or malabsorption. Take ORS, Racecadotril, and a probiotic, and avoid heavy foods. If symptoms continue another 12-24 hours or you develop fever or dehydration, get a stool test and medical evaluation.

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:

  • Seek evaluation by a gastroenterologist or an infectious disease specialist promptly to determine the exact cause.
  • They may recommend stool tests, blood tests, or imaging to identify the infection or other causes.
  • Maintain hydration with oral rehydration solutions to prevent dehydration.
  • Avoid self-medicating further without medical advice.
  • If you develop high fever, severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, or signs of dehydration (dizziness, reduced urination), seek emergency care immediately.

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.
