A member asked:
Can taking ibuprofen for 3 days cause loose stools? and how long should it take to clear up before being concerned if there is no pain or other symptoms, just irregular bathroom habits?

The two items may be coincidental. You may take Immodium or PeptoBismol for the diarrhea. Drink enough water to stay hydrated. If this does not resolve the matter, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
