I've got a virus and one symptom is diarrhea. i have it frequent. sometimes i need to go three times within the same few minutes. when see a dr?

How long?: How many days have you been ill? You want to make sure you are hydrated, so if you feel like you cannot keep enough liquid down then see your MD. If you are also urinating then you are probably ok. The electrolytes lost with diarrhea are sodium chloride and potassium.
