Diarrhea cases on the rise in the Philippines

Our aunt who is a doctor in a major hospital told me that hospital rooms are fully booked due to rise in cases of gastro related diseases like diarrhea, nausea and vomitting.  Sometimes, two or three members of the family are affected and had to be confined.  She thinks it might be in the water that we are drinking.  So to be safe, boil your water even if you source it from a water station.

Also, if you have symptoms of vomitting and diarrhea, be sure to keep yourself hydrated by taking hydride or similar fluids.  Consult with a physician early on especially when it involves your children.

See the Department of Health info on diarrhea:
