General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
This is serious issue and diarrheas may have led to dehydration so it would be good to see doctor and do lab tests and have some infusions administered. This may be infectious diarrheas such as salmonela, colera or parasitic infections. You should not take the risk and rehydration is definitely required. you should drink at least 3.5 L of fluids per day and have easier food with probiotics..
Wish you good health. Kindly regards
