Not so common: What did you use to treat the original diarrhea? May play a role. Persistent diarrhea for four days, even with a break in between merits a visit to the doctor to make sure you are not dehydrated. Also pinch skin to see if it lags in normal position as test of dehydration. In the interim, eat rice and toast and drink pedialyte to stop diarrhea and rehydrate. See doctor.

It is not uncpmmon: No it is not uncommon and it can happen.Just make sure you drink plenty fluids to prevent dehydration and you should be fine but if it persists then see your doctor.
