I am suffering from loose motions. Should I take an antibiotic for relief?

Asked by Male, 24 ยท 1 month ago

Most loose motions are due to viral infection or food-related causes and do not need antibiotics. The main treatment is plenty of fluids, ORS, and light food to prevent dehydration. Take antibiotics only if a doctor suspects a bacterial infection.
