Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for contacting Healthcare Magic.

You seem to be suffering from acute gastroenteritis.

You need to take lots of liquids so that you do not get dehydrated. Also a coursed of antibiotics may be needed. Consult a physician near your home and he can prescribe you a combination of ornidazole and ofloxacin. This you will have to take twice a day for 5 days.

Hope these measures help you.

Best wishes,

Dr Dinesh Singal
