What can I do to treat diarrhea that has lasted for four days after accidentally swallowing pool water, especially since Imodium has not worked?

Asked by Male, 15 · 3 days ago

Since your diarrhea started after swallowing pool water and loperamide (Imodium) hasn't helped, this may be a bacterial or parasitic infection from the water. In these cases, anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide can sometimes prolong the illness, so it is best to stop taking it. The most important step right now is to stay hydrated with water, broth, or oral rehydration solutions. Because this has lasted four days, please consult a healthcare provider. They can perform a simple stool test to identify the cause and prescribe the right treatment to help you feel better soon.
