My wife aged 56 years is diabetic. She takes long term insulin (lantus) and other anti diabetic medicines. The diabetes is under control. About 3 months back, I got her blood test done in which lipid profile, kft, lft, tsh are normal. In the morning of 27th. July, she suddenly complained pain in stomach and thereafter she had several loose motions. (it is noteworthy that she had not eaten any food from market.) I gave her norflox tz, loperamide and electral. She also developed fever, so I gave paracetamol. I gave norflox tz in the evening also. By around 8 pm, loose motion was completely stopped. But mouth temperature 102 f continuing so I have been giving paracetamol every 4 hours. Fever has come down in the morning of 28th. July. My query is as to what medicine should be given to her now.

All medication to continue for 10 days. You have to have a 3 days complete afebrile period. Give her lots of fluids to take. Give her warm water to drink 4 times a day. Curd and banana are good for gastric immunity. Give her probiotics.
