A member asked:
How long is ok to have diarrhoea with a gastro bug ? had it now 3.5 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not unusual for diarrhea to persist for up to a week or even longer in some instances. The important thing is to maintain hydration. Continue to drink fluids. Try to ensure that your urine is a very light color. See your doctor if you fall behind on hydration or if you see any other symptoms such as blood or pain. Good luck.
