Considerations

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for sending the question,

The concern is that this might be some type of infection. Viruses or bacteria might contribute to this. If you have been on antibiotics within the last couple of weeks this might contribute to disruption of the normal bacteria in your intestines. This can contribute to persistent diarrhea.

At this point it is extremely important that you maintain good fluid hydration. Would recommend hydration with water or electrolyte containing beverage such as Gatorade. Usually this will run its course within a week or so. In your case since this is persistent I would recommend that you schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and possibly consider some type of antibiotic therapy to help restore the normal balance.

Thanks again for sending her question. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.
