Diarrhea: This is likely to correct itself quickly, but in the event that it does not, loperamide or Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) (diphenoxylate/atropine) are both popular agents effective in treating some forms of diarrhea. Check with you friendly pharmacist to see if these are sold otc. Good luck and hope you get the job.
