How do you cure diarrhea?

You can either wait it out until everything is out of your system or you can take a laxative like milk of magnesia, it helps diarrhea. Diarrhea is one of the body's responses …to an irritation or inflammation of the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by frequent loose, non-formed or liquid stool, and is often accompanied by abdominal discomfort, cramping and nausea. Most diarrhea will resolve on it's own, or with the help of over-the-counter preparations such as Bismuth Salts (Pepto Bismol) or Loperamide (Imodium USP). Always follow manufacturer dosage recommendations. Patients with diarrhea should be monitored for signs of dehydration and hypovolemic or metabolic shock. Such signs include poor skin turgor (skin does not bounce back when pinched, but stays "tented" for a period of time), sunken or dark circled eyes, difficulty breathing, stupor or confusion, fainting, low blood pressure, rapid heart rate. Anyone displaying such signs should be taken to a doctor or emergency room quickly. Children can generally compensate for longer, but once they show these signs, they are very sick and need immediate medical intervention. Vomiting in combination with diarrhea should be treated fairly quickly because it can result in rapid metabolic changes or dehydration. Normally, diarrhea will stop by itself, unless there is a continuing chronic cause. Diarrhea from food, allergies or intolerances, or colds is not uncommon, and the treatment is to drink plenty of fluids (water is the best) and avoid eating anything that might further irritate the digestive system (spicy foods, hard-to-digest foods, such as a lot of meat). Consult a medical professional for diarrhea that continues past a day or two, or recurs frequently. This can be a symptom of a serious condition. Over-the-counter medications are available that can alleviate diarrhea, but these should only be used for a single occurrence, and at the recommended dosage. These can cause harm themselves if used frequently. Effective medicines for treating diarrhea are Lopermide (Immodium) and Pink Bismuth (Pepto-Bismol). One of the dangers with this condition is dehydration, so it is important to consistently try to keep water coming in. Drink fluids as much as will keep you comfortable. If the diarrhea contains blood, see your health care provider immediately as this can be a serious condition that cannot be self-treated. Also see the provider if lethargic, when the skin does not spring back when pinched (a sign of dehydration), fever is also present - especially fever with rash or if symptoms stop and then restart. drink plenty of fluids and don't eat solid foods for a while. go to your local chemist and get some Imodium, that's the best solution.
