My husband had radiation therapy a month ago and is still experiencing worsening diarrhea, which was expected to last only a few days. He is 64 years old, has a history of COPD, edema in his legs and feet, and chronic lymphatic leukemia. He is currently using Pepto Bismol. Is this serious enough to visit urgent or emergency care?

I’m having watery yellow bowel movements, pain, and vomiting sometimes. The pain is in my upper abdomen, mostly dull and achy, similar to before my gallbladder was removed.
