Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic

Dear Sir
Majority of diarrhoea are caused by virus and are usually self limiting. If there is no blood in stools and no high grade fever then there seems to be cause of concern. Duration of illness may be even extending to a week.
The aim is to prevent dehydration by ensuring adequate intake of oral rehydration solution , ensure intake of good nutritious diet. Apart from it consider anti motility drugs like Loperamide ( provided there is no blood in stools) and probiotic .
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you
Take care
