Brief Answer:
Please provide further information. ...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Before running into final conclusions, I need to have further details :

- have you taken any medication recently?
- any flu like symptoms?
- any tests done so far?
- other symptoms you might have?
- is the stool watery? Loose?
- how often do you have bowel movements?


As the diarrhea lasted for 7 days, I advise to consult with your doctor and to run further diagnostic tests :
- culture of feces
- examination of stool for ova / parasites
- abdominal ultrasound

To determine the right diagnosis.

All the best!
Dr.Klerida
