if u can, u should b seeing a doc. if u can't, u should try to drink liquids so you don't get dehydrated. try some broth or tea. have u tried immodium or pepto bismol? they tends to work & work quickly.

the runs can be from a lot of sources & sometimes it has to "run" it's course. do u have other symptoms, like a cold?

it's not something u should ignore if it continues. you could have an irritable bowl which may/may not be temporary.

There's lots of things you can "try", but your best bet is to c a doctor.

good luck
