"I have had watery diarrhea for 4 days now (15 to 20 times a day) with no fever or blood in my stool. Can I start taking Imodium?"

Yes, you can start taking Imodium if you need to leave the house. However, if you can afford to stay at home, it is better to let your body eliminate the virus or toxin causing your symptoms. In addition to Imodium, it is important to avoid dehydration. If you have had diarrhea for several days, it is recommended to use a rehydration solution like Gastrolyte. If the diarrhea persists in two days, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
