Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
You should not wait with it at home. Even if you have been drinking lots of liquids, from your description it sounds like you may be dehydrated. For sure your body is tired of infection which can be the main reason of your diarrhea.
Other possible reason is partial bowels obstruction due to some lump in the large intestine.
Please call 911 if you are unable to visit your doctor. Staying at home can be life threatening.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
