What is the treatment for e. coli infection?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: For illness caused by e. Coli o157:h7, no current treatments can cure the infection, relieve symptoms or prevent complications. For most people, the best option is to rest and drink plenty of fluids to help with dehydration and fatigue. Avoid taking an anti-diarrheal medication — this slows your digestive system down, preventing your body from getting rid of the toxins.
