 The fastest way to cure travellers diarrhoea

Most people will experience diarrhoea at some point in their lives because it is such a common issue. Diarrhoea can be treated more quickly when you are aware of its potential causes, and you may be able to prevent getting it from those sources again in the future.

Traveller's diarrhoea is primarily caused by food and water, but it can also be transmitted from person to person. It is one of the most common health issues encountered while travelling. Diarrhoea from travel usually improves in 3 to 5 days.

Numerous microorganisms, including bacteria (Salmonella, E. coli), viruses (norovirus), and parasites, are capable of causing it (Giardia). All of these germs are spread by consuming contaminated food and water, or by using contaminated dishes and cutlery.

Diarrhoea is characterised by the frequent and copious passage of abnormally watery stools (faeces). Traveller's diarrhoea is diarrhoea that occurs when you travel to another country. Other symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and fever, in addition to diarrhoea. Symptoms are usually mild and disappear within two to four days. However, they can be severe and last for a long time, especially in children, the elderly, and people with other health problems.

It affects 20% to 60% of people who visit high-risk areas. It primarily affects people travelling from developed countries such as North/West Europe and the United States to less developed countries such as parts of Africa, Central/South America, and Asia, where hygiene and sanitation standards are lower.

Some remedies for traveller's diarrhoea are,

1. Drink plenty of water

Drink plenty of fluids if you get diarrhoea to stay hydrated. In severe cases of travellers' diarrhoea, oral rehydration solution (available online or in developing-country pharmacies) can be used to replace fluids.

2. Use over-the-counter medications

Several medications, such as loperamide, are available over-the-counter to treat diarrhoea symptoms. These medications reduce the frequency and urgency with which you need to use the restroom and may make it easier for you to travel by bus or plane while waiting for an antibiotic to take effect.

3. Use antibiotics only when necessary.

Antibiotics may be prescribed by your doctor to treat travellers' diarrhoea, but only in severe cases. If you must take antibiotics, follow your doctor's instructions exactly. If you develop severe diarrhoea soon after returning from your trip, see a doctor and request stool tests to determine which antibiotic will work for you.

Traveller's diarrhoea usually does not require treatment, but it is critical that you drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to avoid dehydration. Rehydration powders, such as Dioralyte or Electrolade, that are mixed with water and provide water, salts, and sugar, can also be used for those who are more vulnerable to problems (i.e. young children, older people and those with health problems). To treat the symptoms, anti-diarrhoeal medications such as loperamide or Pepto-Bismol are effective in reducing diarrhoea and stomach pains but should not be used on a regular basis. While antibiotics are rarely required, they may be required to treat moderate to severe travellers' diarrhoea caused by bacteria.
