Diarrhea for 3 days and nauses can it be dehydration?

Answer 1

No. Diarrhea and dehydration are rarely linked. Dehydration shouldn't lead to diarrhea, but in turn, diarrhea can lead to dehydration. Well, it depends on the frequency and length of your Diarrhea. There is many cause for diarrhea, ranging from common cold to colon cancer. Usually a diarrhea with the duration within 10 days is caused by infectious agent, but if the diarrhea lasted for more then 10 days, you should see a doctor as soon as possible! These are classic "stomach flu" or gastritis symptoms. They most frequently come from an infection, and while they can last 10 days, that's pretty extreme. You should be seeing it ease up about now in fact. Dehydration doesn't cause diarrhea; diarrhea causes dehydration. And, depending on how often you're moving your bowels, you can dehydrate in 3 days or even one. While this is certainly something you should consider passing to a doctor, try this too: * Drink lots of either Sports Drinks like Gator-Aid, or lemonade with some salt or potassium in it. Drink quite a lot of this. * Try out the BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice (or rice cereal), Applesauce (plain) and Toast (also plain). * Clear liquids are good, as are Gelatin's. If the problem doesn't correct itself quickly, consider calling in for medical help.
