For loose motions, the most important step is staying hydrated. Drink plenty of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) solution, water, and coconut water. You can take a probiotic supplement to help restore healthy gut bacteria. For temporary relief from frequent stools, an over-the-counter medication like Loperamide can be used, but avoid it if you have a fever or blood in your stool, as these indicate an infection. Stick to a bland diet like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. If your symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, or if you develop a high fever or severe abdominal pain, please consult a doctor immediately.
