Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is when your bowel movements become loose or watery. The definition of diarrhoea is passing loose or watery bowel movements 3 or more times in a day (or more frequently than usual). Diarrhoea occurs when the lining of the intestine is unable to absorb fluid, or it actively secretes fluid.

Travellers’ diarrhoea affects a lot of travellers going to destinations like Africa, Asia, and South America. Antibiotics are a fast and effective treatment for travellers’ diarrhoea. Travellers going to a risk area can take a course of antibiotics with them, in case they contract the infection far from medical help.
