Highly recommended: Three good reasons to see your doctor: 1. You may be dehydrated and need supportive therapy such as IV fluids. 2. Tests can be done to determine what you have, and get treated for it before your illness gets worse. 3. You may be unknowingly infecting others around you since you are ill and you are receiving any therapy for it.

Yes: Diarrhea for 7 days is a long time and warrants at least a doctors visit for a thorough examination to determine what is causing the diarrhea. They will be able to tell you the proper treatment plan to minimize or stop the diarrhea.
