[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, you should immediately take the antibioticsShigella Donna is responsible for causing dysentery. So alone probiotic won't work. If the antibiotics not taken immediately than it can cause severe dysentery making the condition more difficult. Please take tablet ofloxacin 200 mg two times a day, pantoprazole two times a day before meal along with probiotic capsule once a day. Please only eat hygienic food and mineral water right now and also in the future. This makes effective barrier for diarrhea in the future. Please adopt good handwashing practice. Maintain good HY Chat Doctor.  This will not make blood pressure going down. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
