Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 60 yr old female, I have loose stools for 4 days no fever,no nausea I took Imodium for 1 day stopped because the bowel movements decrease and I hate to take meds. I have never had problems with my bowels , do yo think this is something that will pass or how long should I give this before going to see a MD
