Why September is a common time for this visit
July and August bring contaminated water, outside food and viral illnesses across Kokapet, Narsingi and Gachibowli. By late September some people are still opening their bowels several times a day. The original infection may have cleared, but the gut habit has not.
Causes we separate in clinic
- A lingering parasite or bacterial infection that a stool test can still catch
- Diarrhoea made worse by repeated antibiotics
- Post-infectious IBS — pain and urgency after the infection is gone
- New lactose intolerance after a gut infection
- IBD, thyroid disease or medicine side effects, when red flags are present
What is safe at home
Use ORS if stools are watery and you are keeping fluids down. Eat simple meals. Pause dairy for a few days if it clearly worsens bloating. Do not add loperamide if you have high fever or blood. Do not stack antibiotics “to be sure.”
What to bring
- Dates the loose stools started and any fever or blood
- Names of antibiotics and “loose motion” tablets already taken
- Older stool or blood reports, if you have them
Urgent care is for dizziness, very little urine, persistent vomiting, heavy bleeding or severe pain. An evening consult at Jade Clinics suits the rest.
Areas we serve
Frequently asked questions
01 How long should monsoon diarrhoea last?
Most acute infectious diarrhoea improves within 2–3 days with fluids. Symptoms beyond two weeks need a review rather than repeat antibiotics.
02 When are stool tests useful?
When loose stools persist, recur, or come with blood, fever, weight loss or night symptoms. A targeted stool test beats a blind antibiotic.
03 Can an infection turn into IBS?
Yes. Some people develop post-infectious IBS — pain and irregular stools after the infection has cleared. Inflammation still has to be ruled out first.
04 Should I keep taking antibiotics from the pharmacy?
No. Extra antibiotic courses can worsen diarrhoea and hide the real cause. Stop and get assessed if symptoms are not settling.
05 Is ORS enough if I can drink?
ORS is the right first step for watery stools if you are alert and keeping fluids down. Dizziness, very low urine, blood or high fever means you need a doctor sooner.
