Treatments for Traveler's Diarrhea
Treatment for Travelers' Diarrhea
Travelers' diarrhea although uncomfortable and unpleasant, usually lasts only a few days. Dehydration (loss of fluids) can be a serious side effect, especially for children and babies. Drinking plenty of noncontaminated fluids is important.
For diarrhea that is more severe or lasts more than three days, it is best to consult a doctor, especially for pregnant women and children. Seek medical help when diarrhea is:
- Severe
- Bloody
- Does not get better within a few days
- Accompanied by fever and chills
- Causes dehydration
