How To Cure Diarrhea

[toc]Diarrhoea is a common form of diseases that affects people of all the age groups. At first, diarrhoea is only an acute trouble but later it might get transformed into a chronic disease. Diarrhoea actually means defecating more than 200 grams in one day. This is a condition where fluids do not get absorbed in the colon because the food either passes too quickly or in large quantity.

Diarrhea

Bacterial infection, food poisoning and intestinal diseases are common causes of diarrhoea. Though, rotavirus mainly causes diarrhoea in kids and Norwalk in adults.

But the treatment of diarrhoea must not begin immediately after the beginning of the symptoms. This disease is a natural way for your body to get rid of the toxins. And if we suppress these toxins, especially those caused by food poisoning it will only make the matter worse.

This disease can lead to dehydration in children and old aged. Therefore, the treatment for the young and old must begin within 2-4 hours of the onset of disease. If diarrhoea has taken place due to some prescription or non-prescription drugs then discontinue that immediately and consult your doctor. But if diarrhoea has been caused by food poisoning then it will subside within 6 hours.
