I had a fever for 3 days and chills consulted with a dr and tested negative for covid. today i started to have diarrhea and it has not stopped?

not unusual. Many gut viruses will trigger a few days of fever, sometimes with cramps followed by loose stools. The target tissue attacked by the virus functions poorly for a few days before recovering. Apples/bananas/breads often help slow stools. Fruit juices will often aggravate them.
