See your doctor: Diarrhea can lead to electrolyte imbalances, so i would suggest drinking a rehydration solution or sports drink to help replenish these. Taking a probiotic has also been shown to help - yogurt can be eaten if you have that readily available, but i would see your physician soon as possible if it is continuous for 5 days. Antibiotics can help some types of diarrhea.
