“Travellers' Diarrhoea is a common problem for travellers to developing countries. It is usually caused by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water. The best way to avoid Travellers' Diarrhoea is to be careful about what you eat and drink while you are travelling. If your symptoms are severe, or if you have bloody diarrhoea, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. These could be signs of a more serious infection, and you may need antibiotics to treat the infection!”
