Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, it started to be very watery. Then it got more and more watery. The frequency also increased. In the evening, I went to get medicine. This morning, I had another bowel movement, and it was still very watery, like spraying water from a distance. The stool has an acidic smell and contains small particles.What kind of help is needed: I want to know if I should go to the hospital to get an IV drip? The doctor said if the medicine doesn't work after taking it three times, I should get an IV drip. But the child is very uncooperative with IV drips. So, I hope to avoid getting an IV drip if possible.
