Just dealing with diarrhea at the moment i had it for the last 5 days i went to the er last night i been drinking fluids a lot but it makes me go more can i take anti diarrhea medication or should continue this virus to run it course?

More history: Have you been put on a broad-spectrum antibiotic prior to the onset of the diarrhea? If so, one needs to consider C difficile infection which can be life-threatening if left untreated. Have you traveled overseas lately? If so one needs to consider a parasite issue. See doctor to get tested.
