Read here what to do in case of diarrhoea and how to take the antibiotic<br>used.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: always consult a doctor in case of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diarrhoea with blood and mucus and\/or fever (&gt;38.5\u00b0C);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pregnants, children aged 2 years and under and people aged 70 years and over if diarrhoea lasts longer than 24 hours<br>lasts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing drying out<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>With diarrhoea, you can become dehydrated if you lose too much fluid. If you have diarrhoea, it is important to take plenty of<br>drink. Use Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. ORS is a special<br>salt-sugar solution that helps prevent dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stopper<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a 'stopping agent' containing loperamide. Loperamide (Imodium\u00ae, Diacure\u00ae, Diarem\u00ae) may<br>be used together with prescribed antibiotics. Loperamide should not be used by<br>children under 2 years of age. Never use loperamide in diarrhoea with blood and\/or mucus. Also use<br>no loperamide if you are pregnant. In the general travellers' leaflet (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcr.nl\/reizigersfolders]\">www.lcr.nl\/reizigersfolders<\/a>) finds<br>you more information and advice on how to prevent diarrhoea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How and when do I take the antibiotics?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on the reason you were given an antibiotic.
