Diarrhea causes watery stools. Usually, in the case of acute diarrhea (lasting up to a week), the condition improves without any medical intervention. For chronic diarrhea (lasting more than a month), the treatment may involve treating the underlying cause.
Chronic diarrhea causes can include any number of bowel diseases, pancreatic injuries, medicine use and infections. Acute diarrhea commonly occurs due to viral and bacterial infections. For severe cases, always seek medical treatment.
However, some effective natural remedies can ease diarrheal symptoms during treatment as well as for mild cases without treatment.
These home remedies can be very effective to manage diarrhea. In the case of severe symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
