most cases it?s a mild illness and symptoms clear within 3 to 4 days. So don?t worry you should feel better in a couple of days. It does not require major treatment as it subsides on its own. ADVICE 1. Fluid replacement- this is really important as we lose lots of water and electrolytes with loose motions and/or vomiting. If we do not replace this lost water, we end up feeling fatigued and weak .In severe cases hospitalization is needed. As a rough guide, drink at least 200 millilitres for each watery stool. Have ORS: 1 packet to be dissolved in 1 litre of boiled and cooled water and drink it as advised. If you feel like vomiting, wait for 5-10 minutes and then start drinking again, but this time do it slowly. For example, take a sip every 2-3 minutes, but make sure that your total intake is the same as what is described above. 2. Anti-diarrhoeal medicines are not usually needed. However, if wish to reduce the number of trips that you need to make to the toilet - Take 1 TAB LOPERAMIDE or 1 TAB REDOTIL right away. (Don?t take more than 2 a day.) 3. Take TAB VIZYLAC 2 times a day for 2 days. 4. Take TAB PAN-D 2 times a day, 30 minutes before food for 3 days. 5. If you have pain along with loose motions: Take TAB COLIMEX two times a day after food for 2 days. 6. Please don?t take antibiotics unless prescribed by your doctor. Taking antibiotics casually reduces your body?s ability to fight off minor infections. 7. Eat as normally as possible. Easily digestible food is better. E.g. curd-rice, moong dal khichdi, fruits. Avoid oily/spicy food.
