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.
