Suggest Treatment For Sharp Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea

Hi I ve just got back from Peru yesterday. I was with a group. One person drank from a water fountain when being told it wasn t safe! I and others in the group have had terrible tummy cramp and diarrhea. It may be from the water or food is it best to just ride it through or go to the doctor?

Hi,
Your problem might be due to contaminated water or food.
This is not urgent problem to solve but important is to treat diarrhea as there are all chances of having dehydration if loose motions not under control.
Take plenty of water, Electral powder and ORS liquids.
Go for medical treatment of loose motion with your doctor.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
