Diarrhoea, abdominal pain and sometimes vomiting are unfortunately common during many overseas trips.
Traveller’s Diarrhoea is usually due to infections with bacteria such as E. coli or Salmonella, but can also be due to viruses such as norovirus.
In most cases, the infections are mild and can be treated with simple medication to relieve the worst symptoms. It is advisable to take some symptomatic medications on trips to areas which are isolated or may not have easily accessible healthcare.
Sometimes diarrhoea or abdominal pain persist for longer than a few days, in which case you should seek a review from your doctor.
