Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Use over-the-counter options include Imodium (loperamide)
-Take probiotics
-Take frequent, small sips of water or a rehydration drink and small bites of salty crackers.
- Begin eating mild foods the next day or sooner, depending on how you feel.
