Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhoea

I am a sicle cell SS patient, and I have had severe diarrhea since yesterday morning, it is loose with a dark gravy looking, pasty texture. I have even went in my sleep twice, I thought me placing one of my Son's diaper in place would catch it but it didn't. I have been trying to keep myself hydrated with water, an Powerade. I have also had body aches that are not consistent to a sickle cell pain crisis. I have been short of breath, I have not had the strength to take my physical temp, but I have been extremely hot, then go to extremely cold, an I wake up with night sweats, an my clothes are cold an wet. I have not had any energy, which makes it hard to even get out of bed, let along grabbing something to drink, an attempting to change my bed clothes.

I really appreciate your concern, with such medical condition of sickle cell disease such symptoms of diarrhea need to be taken seriously because hydration and bleeding crises would be matter of concern and this could be medical emergency, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
