What is Travellers’ Diarrhoea?

Travellers’ diarrhoea is a common condition affecting those who travel to regions with different hygiene standards or water quality. It is usually caused by consuming contaminated food or water and can lead to symptoms such as loose stools, abdominal cramps, and nausea. While it is often mild and resolves on its own, prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent dehydration and other complications.
