Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Watery stools light brown or yellow for one or two days may be typical stomach flu disease.
You can use loperamide to ease diarrhoea.
Use enterogermina, youvita or any other type of probiotics.
Normally it can last for 5 to 7 days.
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking fluids and water.
Don't use too much fruit juices.
