A member asked:
Mom has very bad diarrhea for over a week. have tried all otc meds, not working. she says she is incontinet and can't hold watery stools. need help!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assessment: There is no magical treatment for diarrhea without knowing the cause. She needs an exam, stool analysis and possibly a colonoscopy. With all her diarrhea I would be worried about dehydration. Have her seen very soon and if not by her MD then in the ER. All the best. I'm so sorry she is sick.
