Diagnosis
If you have unexplained diarrhea, and you are taking antibiotics, be sure to tell your doctor the name of your prescription antibiotic, the date when you first began treatment and the date when your bowel symptoms began.
To evaluate the severity of your diarrhea and assess your risk of dehydration, your doctor will ask about:
-
How many stools you are having per day
-
Whether the stools are semi-solid, mildly loose or very watery
-
The appearance of your stool
