Give it another 24 hours, if you still feel that bad, go to the doctor. It may have been something you ate, or some virus. Get some ginger ale and make sure you don't get dehydrated and try not to eat much until this runs through you. Use the BRAT diet for a few days. That's bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and toast. Dry toast. Good luck.

If you are having diarrhea for that long, you really should go see a doctor. If you do not have one, go to a local emergency department or urgent care center.
The danger is that you could get severely dehydrated... this will make your day a whole hell of a lot worse.
You probably have a stomach flu, but you need to get some fluids in you and keep them in you. If you cant do it on your own, the doc can do it for you.

You should go to a doctor, definitely, but it sounds like either a bad stomach flu or food poisoning.

It could be a virus or it could be food poisoning. Drink lots of fluids and stay hydrated. It helps get it out of your system too. Eat very bland food till you feel better.

I agree with everyone else, it's time to see a doctor. Take care of your body, because it's the only one you have!

without delay, get yourself to an emergency room. your symptoms continuing is a sure sign of something seriously wrong with you. it's not normal to have prolonged diarrhea or the other symptoms you present. best of luck!
