Hi.
Thank for your query.
Noted the history need to take a stool softener every day, but Mom advised you to take Dulcolax which followed by diarrhea, pain in abdomen, dehydration and nausea for almost 7 days.
As per the history that you have provided this looks to be gastroenteritis or may be irritant action of Dulcolax but it does not act for so long say 7 days in your case.
I would advise you the following:
Consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation.
Tests of stool and blood.
If required get a course of an antibiotic active against intestinal infection, PPI like Omeprazole, Motility regulator like Domperidone as you have nausea too.
Also take plenty of fluids and water with electrolyte solution to keep yourself well hydrated.
Also take Probiotic, activated charcoal tablet symptomatic and supportive treatment as per necessity.
