A member asked:

Diarrhea for 5 days now, plus other symptoms, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What other symptoms?: "Plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical re-evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of your symptoms, associations (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), as well as your other medical co-morbidities. Call your doctor please & get further tests so appropriate treatment can begin.
