HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the symptoms of diarrhea are there more than a week then it may not be the viral infection or it must have been secondary protozoa or bacterial infection ideally stool needs to be sent for investigation but condition can be managed tentatively with Metronidazole and Domperidone, but most important is to take care of hydration hope this information helps.
