Yu should be on medi: You should contact your doctor and ask for some medication to help you to relieve symptoms. Over the counter Imodium(Loperamide) is often helpful to slow down the diarrhea. If the diarrhea is due to a serious infection, you will need to take an antibiotics. Most doctors will place you on medication ( based on best clinical diagnosis).
