Diarhee

Were you looking for information about Diarrhea? Diarhee is a common misspelling of diarrhea.
 
Diarrhea is a type of symptom that causes loose, watery stools that occur more than three times in one day. Although it may affect anyone, it is often caused by things such as food intolerance, anxiety, reactions to medications, and intestinal diseases. In most cases, people who have diarrhea get better on their own. However, if you have fever of over 102 degrees Fahrenheit, severe abdominal (stomach) pain, or signs of dehydration, make sure to seek medical attention. Treatment may involve replacing lost fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.
