What Is Travelers Diarrhea?
3. Mild Symptoms
The symptoms of traveler’s diarrhea are likely to be relatively mild, and the condition will usually last for just a week or so at the most. However, it is possible for a person to develop traveler’s diarrhea more than once; even on the same trip. When symptoms do show, they will typically include abdominal cramps.
In addition, the patient will experience times when they have a sudden and urgent need to defecate. They are also likely to have loose, watery stools. Nausea and vomiting are also potential symptoms and, depending on the underlying cause, the patient may also have a fever.
