Hello
You are having diarrhea since last three days and its not resolving.
I think you must visit a physician. It needs medical intervention as it can lead to electrolyte imbalance, hypotension and dehydration. Drink ORS in water. Its better than plain water.
Stool examinatiin woukd also be required.
The treatment might include antibiotics.
You can take tablet loperamide for now to control diarrhea.
Thanks.
