Gastroenteritis: Hi JacintaJ, it is best to stay hydrated and let diarrheal illness run its course.Most are viral in nature and resolve in healthy individuals. Staying hydrated is extremely important.If it doesnt go away then you will need to see your doctor. Avoid taking anything to 'clog up the works'.If there is a bacterial infection, it may make matters worse.Give it ten days total, if not better, see your doc
