Brief Answer:
get yourself clinically examined and investigated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated as soon as possible by your doctor. You need an antibiotic along with antiamoebic and an antacid. A probiotic will have added benefits. Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Also take care of your hydration.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards.
