If she cannot get a doctor’s appointment, she should go to an emergency room or urgent care. Having diarrhea for that long needs to be evaluated-she may even be dehydrated and need some IV fluids. The stool needs to be tested to find out what’s wrong. She has waited long enough-an evaluation is needed ASAP. Good luck!

There are many potential causes of diarrhea, but if it has been going on this long, it needs to be evaluated ASAP. It is important to maintain good hydration when diarrhea is present. If she cannot get into see a doctor, she should go to an urgent care center or an emergency room to begin the work up and to find out the cause and treatment of the diarrhea. don’t delay any longer. Good luck.
