Diarrhea after going to pool

2017-10-22 00:21:24
I've been having diarrhea for 4 days now. It was on thursday I was swimming and I accidentally ingested pool water ( the pool water probably has chlorine because it was salty ) and shortly after I started feeling gassy and tender and then I was feeling okay but just with diarrhea. What can I do? please help. I've tried imodium for the first two days but to no avail
