No, no need: Usually this is self limiting, gets better on its own. You are already improving. Try a diet that binds you now - BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apples. Carbs such as pasta and bread are also binding. Avoid fruits, veggies, fiber until your diarrhea stops. If your diarrhea persists for 7 days, or you have recently been on antibiotics, you may need to get your stool checked. Call your PCP.
