I had diarrhea 3 days ago but today it's more like severe 6-7 times watery stool what could it be a virus what is the best way to treat it thanks :)?

Imodium (loperamide): The best way to treat a viral gastroenteritis is that over-the-counter medication like Imodium (loperamide). my only other thought would be to make sure that your thyroid is okay as hyperthyroid (from too much medication) can make you have diarrhea as well.
