I had severe diarrgea for over a week before seeing a Dr. She prescribed Diphen/atrop 2,5 mg; Dicyslomine 20 mg; and SMZ/TMP twice dailey. I have been taking these meds. over a week.. I use the bathroom a lot & am so weak I stay on the couch & sleep mush of the time. I am wondering how long will it take for this acute diarrhea infection to clear up.

Hi welcome to HCm

I have gon thru your query regarding your diarrhoea problem .I can understand your concern .
Gulping on only medicines will not help if you don't modify your life style and food habits .

Dear , Diarrhea is not a condition: it is a symptom of another health issue, such as an infection or a virus. It can also be a reaction to food allergies, medications, parasites, or bacteria in food or water.
In most cases diarrhea will go away on its own within a few days. Since it is your body's way of flushing toxins from your system, it is often best to let it run its course.
Drinking water and other fluids that help restore sugar, salt, and potassium minerals back in fluids, especially water essential vitamins and minerals lost through diarrhea. , becomes important.

But if it runs for quite some time , it becomes a serious problem .

Increase fluid intake ,as juice ,soups lemon with water , a pinch of pepper & salt and little sugar or honey , 3 4 times or more --a day gives instant energy.
start with liquide - semi solid diet as porriage , oats and khichdi with curd

Take small meals ,but frequetly .

Add plain toast, baked potatoes, rice, , eggs, cooked cereal and bananas to your diet as the frequency and volume of the diarrhea decreases. Continue to drink plenty of clear liquids.
Start eating fish, chicken and apple sauce, in addition to the above-mentioned foods, once your stool begins to retain its normal shape and consistency.
Resume your normal diet 24 hours after the diarrhea has ended.
