What should I do if I have diarrhea and become dehydrated?

Patient's question:

What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How should I deal with diarrhea and dehydration?

Doctor's answer:

If diarrhea leads to dehydration, it is important to replenish fluids promptly. You can drink plenty of light salt water to help recover. If the dehydration is particularly severe, intravenous fluid infusion may be necessary to replenish fluids. During this period, you should also take medication to treat nausea and vomiting. Montmorillonite powder can be taken. If there is an inflammatory infection, you should also take anti-inflammatory medication to treat it.
