My 17-year-old daughter has been suffering from bacillary dysentery for 5 days, and it has not stopped after taking Norfloxacin, Tinidazole, and probiotics. What alternative medicine should she take?
Since the current treatment is not working, your daughter may have an antibiotic-resistant bacterial strain or a different infection. Please do not start a new antibiotic without a doctor's guidance. You should take her to a physician immediately. They will likely order a stool culture test to identify the specific pathogen and prescribe an effective alternative antibiotic, such as Azithromycin or a cephalosporin. In the meantime, focus on preventing dehydration by giving her Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and plenty of fluids. Seek urgent medical care if she has a high fever, severe abdominal pain, or cannot keep fluids down.
