Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You have not mentioned whether the stool is loose or of normal consistency. Frequent loose stools could be due to food poisoning or infection. Laboratory Stool examination is necessary to ascertain the cause. Drink plenty of water and add a small quantity of salt to it to prevent dehydration. If possible Oral rehydration Solution is ideal. Do consult a doctor who will prescribe medicine after determining the cause.
