HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, although most of the diarrhea are self limiting seldom needs some treatment if this is due to some infection here in your case this could be due to some protozoa infection and better to start "Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for 7 days" drink more water, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
