Most people handle the infection easily. Its dangerous to the immunodeficient, infants and the elderly.

The main risk is from dehydration. So the first recommended treatment is over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications and drinking lots of fluids.

If it lasts for more than a week or you suffer from symptoms of dehydration (clammy skin, dizziness, not peeing etc) you’ll need to seek urgent medical care. Someplace that can give you an IV.

Not a medical DR, I just play one occasionally for shits and giggles. So this could be correct or a bunch of bullshit.
