Diarrhea Treatment
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Diarrhea is characterized by more frequent bowel movements with a more liquid consistency than usual; its treatment aims to prevent dehydration and clarify the underlying cause.
Common causes: it is usually due to infections by viruses, bacteria, or parasites, although it can also be related to foods, medications, or digestive disorders.
When to see a doctor? It is important to evaluate cases that are prolonged, that are accompanied by high fever, blood in the stool, or signs of dehydration, especially in children and older adults.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner usually provides the first guidance; in infectious cases the infectious disease specialist is involved, and the internist or the emergency physician step in when the situation is severe. A timely evaluation prevents complications.
