Having diarrhea that started 12 hours ago. at first it's mushy stools after a few more bathroom visits pooping water. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can check: A simple tummy ache with nausea, vomiting, gas, or diarrhea, whether at home or traveling, may be from a virus infection, bacteria infection, or contaminated food. A normal person, not on medications, usually recovers easily. Taking a Pedialyte popsicle or 2-3 oz of Pedialyte hourly, and drinking or eating little else for one day, may settle things down. Otherwise a doctor can evaluate.
