Brief Answer:
travelers diarrhea

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your question,
You most likely have travelers diarrhea and this will probably need antibiotics to get clear. You should see a doctor soon for a stool culture and stool for ova and parasites and to get a prescription to treat travelers diarrhea.
I hope you are feeling better soon. See a doctor as soon as possible and push fluids to avoid dehydration.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
