Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Sudden starting of pooping water, that is watery diarrhea for the last 2 days indicate an intestinal infection.
I would advise you the following:
Get the stool and blood tests done.
Consult your DOctor for clinical examination and investigations.
Oral antibiotics and metronidazole will help to control the infection.
Imodium in hte dosages of maximum 6 in 24 hours as per direction of your Doctor will help to control the diarrhea.
Plain water is not sufficient, you need fruit juices, coconut water and electrolyte solution too.
May need intravenous antibiotics, fluids and electrolytes.
Also take probiotics, activated charcoal, banana and yogurt.
I find this answer helpful
