i am having loose motion - #19692

Swara

I am having loose motion for the last couple of days, and it's starting to freak me out a bit. First, it was just a couple of trips to the bathroom, but now I'm going like, every hour, and it's getting worse! I thought it was just something I ate, but now I’m not even sure. I had some street food last weekend, and I know, I know, bad choice, right? But then again, a couple of my friends had the same thing, and they seem fine. Along with this loose motion thing, I feel a little nauseous and sometimes get lightheaded. I don't have a fever or anything, but I’m worried, and on top of that, I’m scared about dehydration. Am I going to need to go to the hospital, or is this something I can manage at home? I am even drinking more water, but it still feels like I’m losing everything too quickly! I tried some over-the-counter stuff, but it didn’t really help. I am having loose motion and just can't shake this feeling of dread. Any advice on what I should do or when it's time to see a doctor?
