1. As there is positive history in the family members and is of acute onset thus probably we are dealing with acute infectious
diarrhea [transmited from one person to another].
2. You need to see your
primary care doctor who might manage you symptomatically but may refer you to consult a Pathologist or an infectious disease specialist to know about the culprit behind diarrhea, [i.e. is it viral, bacterial or parasitic infection] and then prescribe accordingly, till then [for all members]
- wash hands properly [before eating, after using the washroom and after handling pets/waste].
- drink boiled water and properly cooked vegetables [avoid raw/ undercooked food and tap water]
- wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption.
- Add
probiotic food [curd, sourdough bread] which will help maintain proper digestive function]
