It depends on how severe it was and how it was caused. For example if you ate something that was not right for your stomach you'll probably be bending over the toilet for a night or two. If you get diarrhea because of radiation poisoning (examples, exposure to blast waves of a nuclear explosion and/or reaction, exposure to radioactive elements like very small nanograms of polonium), the diarrhea will be almost neverending until you are cured. If you get diarrhea because you body is attempting to flush out viruses and parasites, then it'll last for a week or two depending on what the parasite is.

Diarrhea is a symptom of an underlying medical problem, and not a disease in and of itself. Diarrhea will last as long as the underlying medical problem persists.

Diarrhea as a result of eating too much fat or grease in a single meal may last just a couple hours. Diarrhea due to inflammatory bowel disease may last your entire life.

Drug induced diarrhea may last anywhere from several hours to several days. This depends entirely on the type of drug being used. For example, if an antibiotic is being used, the diarrhea may last for several weeks.

I suppose that would depend on what you eat/drink, but if you are in a hurry to get it, drink some castor oil.

It depends on the drug.


How long does it take to deliver once your labor has been induced?

I have three children and all three were induced. For example my last one, I was induced on the Friday morning and didn't have him until the early hours of Sunday. They give you a drug to give you heavy contractions and stimulate labour, so you could be in alot of pain without being fully dilated, so I suggest an epidural as with that you can get some rest before you have to push, which can I add is painless. Good Luck :-)

Are side effects of amoxicillin with augmentin long lasting?

Augmentin is Amoxicillin plus another drug called clavulonic acid -- thus, taking both together just means you're getting a double dose of amoxicillin. Taking high doses of antibiotics will result in diarrhea, nausea, and maybe heartburn. They will last as long as you take the drugs.
