Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Severe diarrhea since 6 days whatever may be the cause may be drug induced or infective,(gastroenteritis) but it should be treated promptly before patient go in hypovolemic shock (tachycardia, hypotension,rapid breathing, giddiness, fever etc).

You must undergo routine blood investigations and electorlytes,liver and kidney function tests,urinalysis and stool for blood,abdominal ultrasound to detect the underlying cause.

So you should be given injectable antibiotics with fluid and electrolyte replacement therapy.

I don't think so you should wait for more time,immediately consult your family physician.

Thanks and regards,
