Diarrhea treatment includes rehydration, dietary changes, and medications. Seek medical care if symptoms persist beyond 2 days or worsen. Licensed providers on Klarity can assess and prescribe treatment remotely, often within 24 hours.
Diarrhea involves frequent, watery stools caused by infections, food intolerances, medications, or gastrointestinal conditions. Proper treatment depends on identifying the cause and managing symptoms effectively.
Replacing lost fluids with oral rehydration solutions or electrolyte drinks is crucial. Eating bland, easy-to-digest foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast helps soothe the gut.
Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide can reduce symptoms. Infections may require antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider. Severe cases need medical evaluation.
If diarrhea lasts more than 48 hours, is accompanied by high fever, blood in stool, severe dehydration, or persistent pain, consult a healthcare professional promptly.
