I have had diarrhea since last Thursday. I don't have a heartache. I don't have a temperature. What can I do to get over it?

Hello 😊

Could you please clarify your question for me so that I can better answer you?

Thank you!😊

Re Hello!

For now, I would advise you to stay hydrated and eat foods that are low in fat, fiber, sugar and not very spicy. Focus on white bread and white rice as your starch.

If the diarrhea is from infectious causes, it should subside soon. If you do not improve within 2 days, I recommend that you see a doctor.

If you have blood in your stool or still have signs of dehydration (e.g., less urine, increased thirst, dry lips, tongue, or mouth), I recommend that you see a doctor.

Be aware that diarrhea can be a side effect of pantoprazole. If this medication is new, talk to your pharmacist and they can find a replacement.

Happy day!
