Loose motion for a week.
I'm having loose motion for a week now. The stool is not very watery but still loose. I don't feel sick nor dehydrated. Color of the stool and urine is normal. Its just loose motions. Should i be worried or should i wait and watch for few days more.
Have you had fever ? Any blood in stools ? Any recent intake of antibiotics ? Any particular food items that are associated with this loose stools? Does anyone around you have similar symptoms ? Is there pain abdomen or cramps or flatulence?
Are you taking any laxatives ? [some of sugar free items available in market can produce a laxative effect ]
