Viral diarrhea: In light of negative stool cultures one has to assume you have a viral gastroenteritis. Eat a bland diet. Stay off of greasy and fried foods.Stay hydrated but refrain from milk and juice for5-7 days.

Shigella characteristically causes marked bandemia with variable total white blood cell (WBC). Primary goal for the patient with acute diarrhea is symptomatic relief, rehydration .
