Traveller's diarrhoea is one of the most common health problems affecting people abroad. Longeva Wellness provides pharmacist-led travel health advice in Rochdale to help travellers across Greater Manchester understand their risk, reduce the chance of illness and know what to do if symptoms develop.
What causes traveller's diarrhoea?
Traveller's diarrhoea is usually caused by consuming food or water contaminated with bacteria, viruses or parasites. Risk varies by destination, food and water standards, accommodation and the way you travel.
Reducing your risk while travelling
Good hand hygiene and careful food and water choices are important. Depending on your destination and individual risk, your travel consultation may also consider relevant vaccinations and other preventive measures.
What to do if diarrhoea develops abroad
Maintaining hydration is important, particularly in hot climates. Oral rehydration products can help replace fluids and salts. Treatment recommendations depend on the severity and duration of symptoms, your medical history and where you are travelling.
When to seek urgent medical advice
Seek medical advice promptly for severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, severe abdominal pain, high fever, confusion or significant deterioration. Infants, older adults, pregnant travellers and people with certain health conditions can be more vulnerable to dehydration and complications.
Personalised travel health assessment
Your pharmacist can assess your destination, itinerary and medical history before departure and discuss appropriate prevention and treatment planning. Prescription medicines are only considered where clinically appropriate following assessment.
