How should dehydration be handled?

Patient's question:

What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How should dehydration be handled?

Doctor's answer:

If diarrhea recurs repeatedly and leads to fatigue again, it is recommended to promptly seek medical treatment at a hospital for fluid replacement. Additionally, if abdominal pain and general weakness reappear, it is advisable to improve blood tests such as a complete blood count to clarify the condition. When necessary, antibiotics may be required for treatment. Quinolone-class antibiotics, such as norfloxacin or levofloxacin, can be used for anti-infection. Pay attention to good dietary habits and avoid excessive consumption of extremely cold and spicy, irritating foods.
