HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrhea are self limiting if this is nonspecific without any cause or if it is viral infection, along with this if this is watery then it needs to be taken care for hydration, in your case if this is nonspecific then no need to worry about this, still I would advise to send the stool for examination hope this information helps.
