Hi XXXXXXX and thanks for the query
The history provided is suggestive of colitis - inflammation of colon which could be infective or inflammatory.
As it is a brief history it is more likely to be infective in origin. Shigella dysentry classically presents as watery diarrhoea for the initial few days followed by bloody stools mixed with mucus.
I would suggest you to undertake stool routine examination (on 3 days), stool & blood culture and sensitivity, hemogram and an abdominal xray
Continue with milk free diet, add some probiotics and zinc containing multivitamins and consult your doctor to plan further management

Dr XXXXXXX
