Treatment for diarrhoea
Babies and young children with diarrhoea need prompt medical attention. Treatment for diarrhoea depends on the cause, but may include:
- plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration
- oral rehydration drinks to replace lost salts and minerals. These drinks are available from pharmacies. An alternative is one part unsweetened pure fruit juice diluted with four parts of water
- intravenous replacement of fluids in severe cases
- medications such as antibiotics and anti-nausea drugs
- anti-diarrhoeal medications, but only on the advice of your doctor. If your diarrhoea is caused by infection, anti-diarrhoeal drugs may keep the infection inside your body for longer
- treatment for any underlying condition, such as inflammatory bowel disease.
