Viral gastroenteritis commonly resolves within 48 to 72 hours. Bacterial or parasitic causes may persist longer, sometimes up to a week or more, particularly without treatment. Medication related diarrhea can continue while the drug is taken, including antibiotics such as cephalexin capsules wholesale supplies distributed for clinical use. Hydration, rest, and appropriate diet are essential. Seek medical care if symptoms exceed three days, include fever, blood, dehydration, or occur in infants, elderly patients, or immunocompromised individuals promptly and responsibly.</p>
