At your age I suggest that you avoid loperamide and visit a specialist if you still have symptoms.
Take care to stay hydrated. Adjust your diet intake. Eliminate animal fats, milk products, and caffeine. Eat one banana twice a day plus a small amount of brown rice plus half an apple twice a day.

Diarrhea often comes and goes, so three days of diarrhea may not be something that requires treatment. It may be self limited gastroenteritis. If it persists then see a PCP or GI doctor.
