HI

Thanks for posting your query

It appears you have contracted Enteritis , inflammation of the intestinal mucosa secondary to some contamination in your meals or drinks

The best therapy is take plenty of fluids orally
Take a good probiotic for five to seven days twice a day

If the frequency is not controlled take Racecardotil tab twice a day and go for a stool culture

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of doubts
Wishing you a speedy recovery
