I have been having watery stools with stomach cramps for the past 24 hours. What treatment is recommended?

Asked by Male, 30 · 29 days ago

Watery stools with stomach cramps for the past 24 hours are most commonly due to a short-term stomach infection, and the main treatment is to prevent dehydration; start taking oral rehydration solution (ORS) in small, frequent sips, drink plenty of safe fluids (water, coconut water), and eat light foods like rice, curd, and bananas while avoiding oily, spicy, or outside food. You may also take a probiotic to help restore gut balance, but avoid self-starting antibiotics or strong anti-diarrhoeal medicines unless prescribed by a doctor. Most cases improve within 1-2 days, but seek medical care if you develop a high fever, blood in stools, persistent vomiting, signs of dehydration (less urine, dizziness), severe abdominal pain, or if symptoms last more than 2-3 days.
