I have had persistent diarrhea with cramping and gurgling for 48 hours. Should I be concerned?

I continue to hydrate well and eat light, small portions but it is not going away. I have been vaccinated against covid since April 19. Should I consult?

Hello Ma'am,

In the absence of fever or blood in the stool, one can wait another 2-3 days before going to see a doctor if you manage to drink a little.

In the meantime, you can try using probiotics to speed up the return to normal.

Happy day :)
