Most sudden watery diarrhea is self-limited and improves with rehydration and simple symptom relief. Online care fits only an uncomplicated, non-bloody, fever-free illness under 14 days: any visible blood, fever of 102°F or higher, dehydration, severe or one-sided belly pain, bowel-obstruction warning sign, known inflammatory bowel disease, recent antibiotics or hospitalization, immune suppression, or pregnancy is a non-bypassable stop. Empiric antibiotics are offered only after recent international travel, because domestically-acquired bloody diarrhea can carry Shiga-toxin E. coli and antibiotics can then precipitate hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

如果治疗合适，医生可以将非管制药物处方发送到您的药房，并通过门户网站向您提供说明。

What can be prescribed?

Oral rehydration salts, loperamide (self-care dosing up to 8 mg per day), and bismuth are the first-line options. For a non-bloody, fever-free traveler's illness after recent international travel, a physician may add a single short course of azithromycin (or ciprofloxacin only when a macrolide cannot be used, or rifaximin for watery non-invasive diarrhea) once the drug-safety gates are enabled. Ondansetron may be added for nausea that limits rehydration.

Why won't you treat bloody diarrhea online?

Visible blood can mean dysentery, a GI bleed, or Shiga-toxin E. coli. In that setting both anti-diarrheal drugs and empiric antibiotics can be harmful and can precipitate hemolytic-uremic syndrome, so any blood in the stool stops this pathway and is referred for in-person testing.

When is diarrhea an emergency?

Seek emergency care now for fainting, confusion, no urination for 8+ hours, inability to keep fluids down, large-volume bloody stools, vomiting blood, severe or one-sided belly pain, a rigid abdomen, or signs of hemolytic-uremic syndrome after bloody diarrhea (much less urine, easy bruising, or unusual pallor).

Do you also need a short work or school note?

The treatment visit and a documentation request are separate. If you need a basic note for up to five days and the request fits that lane's timing and purpose limits, use the dedicated sick-note visit.
