Brief Answer:
Possible Acute Gastro enteritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I can understand your concern.

Your symptoms are suggestive of Possible Acute Gastroenteritis.

I generally advise my patients oral tablets of Tab.Orni-o(Ornidazole+ofloxacin) twice daily for 5 days and Tab.Pantop-D once daily before breakfast.So please discuss with your doctor whether he shares my opinion.

I also advise you to drink plenty of water and fluids daily.

Also let me know whether you have pain abdomen or cramps in your follow up query.

Avoid outside food and spicy,fatty foods.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
