Having diarrhea six times in a day can be exhausting, but it is usually manageable at home. Your main priority right now is staying hydrated. Please drink plenty of fluids, ideally Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) or clear broths. For quick symptom relief, you can take an over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide, provided you do not have a fever or bloody stools. Rest your digestive system with a bland diet of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Most cases resolve within 24 to 48 hours. However, please consult a doctor if you develop a high fever, severe abdominal pain, blood in your stool, or cannot keep fluids down.

For vomiting and watery diarrhea, the most crucial step is preventing dehydration. Start drinking Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) dissolved in water, sipping it slowly. For vomiting, a doctor can prescribe an antiemetic like ondansetron. For diarrhea, over-the-counter loperamide can help, but do not take it if you have a fever or bloody stools, as this could indicate an infection. Stick to a bland diet (bananas, rice, toast) once you can tolerate food. If you experience severe pain, high fever, or cannot keep any liquids down for 24 hours, please see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

For lunch, choose light and easy-to-digest foods like plain rice, curd (dahi), khichdi, or boiled potatoes. Continue eating bananas if it suits you, and drink plenty of fluids like water, ORS, or coconut water to stay hydrated. Avoid spicy, oily, and outside food until your digestion settles. If loose motions continue for more than 2-3 days or you feel weak, consult a doctor.

Loose motions since last night are usually due to a mild stomach infection or food issue. The most important thing is to stay hydrated: drink plenty of water, ORS, coconut water, or clear soups. Eat light foods like rice, curd, banana, and khichdi, and avoid spicy or oily food. You can take medicines like Loperamide. If loose motions persist, consult a doctor promptly.
