Diarrhea
Acute Diarrhea
Loose, watery stools occurring more than three times a day, often caused by infection, medications, or food.
Acute diarrhea is usually self-limiting and caused by infections, food intolerances, or medications. Rehydration is the cornerstone of management. Antidiarrheal agents like loperamide provide symptomatic relief, while antibiotics are reserved for bacterial causes.
