With severe pain or discomfort in the abdomen, it is possible to take antispasmodics. Drinking plenty of fluids and replenishing electrolytes is a must! [5] This does not affect the course of the disease itself but relieves the patient’s condition by restoring the water-salt balance. As mentioned above, the patient loses not only fluid but also vital trace elements. In the pharmacy, you can find a lot of different ready-made mixtures of electrolytes, which can be simply diluted in water and given to the patient to drink in frequent small portions.
It is important not only to know what medicines to drink for diarrhea but also how to help your body cope with the disease. In addition to basic therapy, it is imperative to provide light food and plenty of fluids. Eliminate fatty, salty, and spiced foods, fresh bread and baked goods, any fast food and hot food. Eat in small, frequent meals to avoid overloading your gastrointestinal tract, which is fighting infection. Food should be at room temperature, include low-fat dairy products, baked vegetables, and fruits, cereals.
The most effective remedy for diarrhea is always an integrated approach to treatment, based on the recommendation of a doctor. Only in this case can you count on a quick recovery without the development of complications.
