You don't need to go to the hospital unless you have a true emergency, e.g. getting dehydrated, feeling very weak or almost passing out, severe unrelenting pain, a lot of blood in the stool, losing a lot of weight.
If diarrhea is going on for 1 week then it may just be infection, often followed by irritable bowel symptoms.
Omeprazole is of no use for this problem.
An antispasm medicine like Bentyl will help with the cramping pain.
