- Stay hydrated, drink 3 liters of water per day and 1 liter ORS in water so total 4 liters. coconut water is also preferred
- Don't skip meals instead have a liquid diet containing soups and juices and slowly increase to solid diet based on how teh food can be tolerated.
- Avoid spicy, oily, deep fried and junk food
- Avoid tea, coffee and carbonated drinks.
If the condition persists or worsens kindly visit the ER at the earliest.
