Strong medications, especially antibiotics used for fever, can disrupt your healthy gut bacteria, leading to bloating. Additionally, Lomotil can slow down your digestive tract, which actually traps gas and worsens a swollen stomach. I suggest pausing Lomotil for now. Instead, try drinking warm peppermint ginger tea, eating small, light meals, and perhaps starting a gentle probiotic to restore your gut balance. If the swelling persists, or if you experience severe pain, vomiting, or fever, please contact your doctor.

Your mild right-side pain, brief pale stool, and elevated CRP could indicate mild gallbladder inflammation or post-infectious gut recovery, especially after taking Lomotil. Your normal liver tests are very reassuring. To help your system recover, focus on a bland, low-fat diet. Eat small, frequent meals consisting of bananas, rice, oats, toast, and clear broths, which are gentle on both your stomach and liver. Avoid oily, spicy, or heavy foods to reduce reflux and ease the right-side discomfort. Please consult your doctor to discuss these symptoms, as they may recommend a simple ultrasound to check your gallbladder.

Taking two tablets of Norflox TZ (norfloxacin/tinidazole) twice a day is higher than the standard dose of one tablet twice daily. Additionally, taking Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) every four hours can be risky, as it slows your bowel movements and can trap the infection inside your body. Please focus on staying hydrated with oral rehydration salts (ORS) and consult a doctor right away to adjust these dosages safely.

Passing light reddish liquid needs careful attention. Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) works by significantly slowing down your bowel movements. This slowdown can sometimes cause residual fluid, mucus, or healing blood to pool and pass as a light reddish liquid. However, to ensure the underlying cause of your bloody stools is fully resolving and that you are healing safely, please consult your doctor promptly. In the meantime, stay well-hydrated with clear fluids or oral rehydration solutions, avoid taking further doses of Lomotil without medical advice, and seek immediate care if you experience a fever, dizziness, or worsening abdominal pain.

Because your baby is an infant, please stop giving Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) immediately. This medication is unsafe for children under two years old. To help him recover, please continue providing small, frequent sips of oral rehydration therapy to prevent dehydration. Because of his young age, persistent diarrhea, and mild fever, it is very important to contact your pediatrician or seek medical care right away for a safe, professional evaluation.

Lomotil can sometimes cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or headache in some people. However, a severe headache that worsens on bending down may also occur due to dehydration, sinus pressure, viral infection, or other causes unrelated to the medicine. Since your loose motions have stopped, focus on drinking enough water and ORS to correct any dehydration. Rest and adequate sleep may also help. For headache relief, doctors commonly advise simple medicines like paracetamol if there are no medical restrictions, but avoid taking multiple painkillers without guidance. If the headache becomes severe, is associated with fever, vomiting, blurred vision, weakness, or neck stiffness, seek medical attention immediately.
