Our Treatment Approach
Dr. Madhura More follows a systematic, patient-first approach to diagnosing and treating acute diarrhea:
1. Detailed Clinical Assessment
A thorough history of food intake, travel, medication use, and symptom onset to identify the likely cause.
2. Targeted Investigations (if needed)
Stool routine & culture, blood tests (CBC, electrolytes, kidney function) to rule out serious infections or dehydration complications.
3. Rehydration Therapy
Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) or IV fluids in cases of moderate to severe dehydration — managed right at the clinic.
4. Medication Management
Appropriate use of antibiotics (only when indicated), anti-motility agents, probiotics, and anti-nausea medications based on diagnosis.
5. Dietary Counselling
Personalised guidance on the BRAT diet (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) and gradual reintroduction of normal foods for faster gut recovery.
6. Follow-Up Care
Monitoring recovery and preventing recurrence with hygiene and food safety education.
