intestinal infection treatment - #17278

Saanvi

I am really worried about my health right now. A few weeks ago, I traveled abroad and tried some street food, which I thought was awesome. But then, I got this terrible stomach pain and had nausea that just wouldn’t quit. After a couple of days, some diarrhea kicked in, and it was like my whole digestive system went into chaos. I finally went to the doc, and they think I might have an intestinal infection or somthing like that. They did a couple of tests and said I should wait for the results, but in the mean time, I’m just wondering what the best options for intestinal infection treatment really are! I know antibiotics are sometimes used, but what if my infection is viral or something else entirely? I guess I’m looking for some advice on what to expect from intestinal infection treatment, how long it might take to heal, and if there are specific things I should be doing or avoiding while I wait for the results. Like, are there any foods that help with intestinal infection treatment? Or any probiotics or supplements that might actually work? Just feeling really lost and a bit scared right now. Anyone who’s been through this kind of thing and has tips or insights? Would really appreciate it!
