Understanding Diarrhea in the Indian Context
Hyderabad sees spikes during the monsoon and festival seasons due to water contamination and street food. At Ajuda Hospitals, we use dehydration scoring and a selective testing approach so you recover quickly without unnecessary antibiotics.
When to Consult Our Diarrhea Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent care for:
- ✓ Severe dehydration (very low urine, lethargy, confusion)
- ✓ Blood/black stools, high fever, or severe abdominal pain
- ✓ Persistent vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
Book a routine visit for diarrhea >3 days, travel/street-food exposure, or if you are elderly/pregnant/diabetic.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Triage & Dehydration Score
Decide ORS vs IV fluids and admission needs.
Stool Testing Strategy
Microscopy/culture for dysentery or persistent cases; PCR selectively.
Differentials & Red Flags
Rule out surgical abdomen, cholera, C. difficile, IBS/IBD.
Comorbidity & Medication Review
Adjust diabetics’ meds/fluids; review recent antibiotics and PPIs.
Treatment Pathways
From ORS and diet and symptom control to selective antibiotics when indicated, probiotics, IV fluids/admission, and tele follow-ups, your plan aims for fast, safe recovery.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Day 0: triage + plan → Day 1–2: symptom relief → Day 3–5: full recovery for most → Week 1–2: follow-up if prolonged or recurrent.
Technology & Innovation
EMR-based dehydration scoring and optional rapid stool panels drive timely, precise decisions and reduce bounce-backs.
Preventing Complications
Safe water, hand hygiene, food safety, and early ORS prevent severe dehydration and hospitalisation—especially for seniors and children.
