Brief Answer: sounds like gastroenteritis Detailed Answer: hi there XXXXXXX I am Dr Mittal I am going to try to help you with the query. Now the symptoms you have mentioned sound like an infection, and this needs antibiotics- usually ciprofloxacin and metrogyl are given. Now from the query I am not sure how frequently your episodes are happening. But be warned about fluids. take plenty of fluids. In fact I would suggest meet a doctor who can assess the fluid status of your body. In case it is low, you may need iv fluids. Best of luck Dr Mittal
