A member asked:

I have a diarrhea and my doctor told me it is due to cold and give me medicine and told me it will clear in day or two. should it be possible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diarrhea: Often due to viral enteritis, in india there are many other possibilities, including salmonella enteritis, amoebiasis, epecoli, shigellosis, and always giardiasis, among others. If this does not clear up in several days you need to be seen again and tested.
