Doctor's answer:

Hello, bacterial dysentery is a contagious disease, and such patients should be isolated gastrointestinally. We can use appropriate antimicrobial drugs for etiological treatment based on fecal bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Common anti-inflammatory drugs include, such as co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), gentamicin, and others. We can use anti-diarrheal medications, such as montmorillonite. Moreover, we should consume a large amount of fluids to prevent dehydration.
