In this travel health feature, Dr. Chok Aik Yong, Colorectal and General Surgeon at Aelius Surgical Centre, explains that traveller’s diarrhoea is commonly caused by exposure to unfamiliar bacteria through contaminated food or water. He highlights the importance of preventive measures such as practising good hand hygiene, consuming well-cooked foods, drinking safe water, and avoiding raw or unhygienic items. Dr. Chok also advises travellers to seek medical attention if symptoms are severe, persistent, or accompanied by fever or blood in the stool, to prevent potential complications.
