Traveller’s diarrhoea usually begins suddenly and can last for several days. It’s most common in parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Central or South America, where water quality and food hygiene may differ from UK standards.
Mild cases can often be managed with oral rehydration salts, rest, and avoiding solid foods until symptoms ease. For moderate to severe cases — or where symptoms persist — antibiotics such as Azithromycin may be prescribed. This fast-acting antibiotic targets common bacterial infections and can shorten the duration of symptoms.
Can you buy antibiotics for traveller’s diarrhoea over the counter? No — they are prescription-only medications and require a consultation to assess the cause and ensure safe use.
It’s also important to stay well hydrated and replace lost electrolytes. Oral rehydration sachets are essential, especially in hot climates or for children, to prevent dehydration.
Preventive measures include drinking bottled or purified water, avoiding raw or undercooked foods, and washing hands frequently. Carrying treatment with you while travelling can offer peace of mind and quick access to relief if symptoms occur.
