Primary

MeasureTime frame
Duration of diarrhea. Timepoint: In this clinical trial, the outcome variables (such as duration of diarrhea, degree of dehydration, number of hospitalizations, and degree of improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms) will be measured at four time points:At baseline (prior to initiation of intervention)Seven days after the start of treatmentFourteen days after the start of treatmentTwenty-one days after the start of treatment. Method of measurement: Data collection procedures:Outcomes will be documented through daily clinical observation, structured patient interviews during follow-ups, and hospital record reviews.Degree of dehydration will be measured via laboratory parameters and clinical signs.Hospitalization count will be sourced from official hospital records.Improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms will be evaluated by stool consistency/frequency, patient complaints, and physician assessment.;Length of hospital stay.
