Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea
Question: I have had diarrhea for the last two day and it starting to really painfully now. Is there anything a doctor can give me to stop this diarrhea
Brief Answer:
ORS is the mainstay of treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that unless the stool is blood stained it is not a cause of concern and the mainstay of treatment is replenishment of the salts and fluids lost. You need to take ORS (oral rehydration solution). Irrespective of treatment it usually takes 2-4 days for the stool frequency to come down. You would need to be patient.
Take some probiotics like Enterogermina twice a day for the next few days. Take curd or yogurt. Hopefully it would help.
Let me know if I could help further.
