Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

If the diarrhea is without blood or mucus it can be a gastrointestinal infection known as gastroenteritis.
It normally lasts 5 days but acute diarrhea can last up to two weeks.
You can use probiotics such enterogermina to establish the intestinal. You can find it otc in pharmacy.
Also you can use loperamide to stop diarrhea.
