“When should you go to the ER for diarrhea?”
I am a 28 year old female. I have had diarrhea for two days and I am worried it's a symptom of covid-19. When should you go to the ER for diarrhea?

If there is blood in the stool, recent foreign travel, then you should go. Otherwise, try the usual remedies and be sure to drink fluids. Dry toast, rice, bananas, dry shredded wheat, metamucil will help to decrease the frequency of your stool and make them less liquid. If you are having 4-5 stools/day, feel lightheaded, then you should also be seen.
When you are dehydrated, when you have blood in your stool and when you’ve traveled to underdeveloped countries are some of the good reasons to go to the Ed for diarrhea
