Antibiotics are effective for diarrhea caused by bacterial infections, while other types may be poorly treated.
There are many causes of diarrhea, including diet, drugs, climate, gastric diseases, endocrine and metabolic disorders, connective tissue diseases, and neurological disorders, etc. However, diarrhea caused by these factors cannot be treated with antibiotics, and requires causative and symptomatic supportive treatment.
Antibiotics can be used to treat diarrhea caused by bacterial infections, which can be treated by routine stool examination, pathogenetic examination and drug sensitivity test, and targeted medication can be used after the causative factors and their sensitive antibiotics are clarified.
If the patient’s diarrhea symptoms are severe, or if the symptoms persist for several days without improvement, he or she should go to the hospital for treatment. Antibiotics should be used under the guidance of a doctor, not self-medication.
