Brief Answer:
Possibly gastroenteritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible gastroenteritis.
I think it would be better to start with following -
1. Pantocid 40 mg twice a day.
2. plenty of fluids.
3. antibiotics as per local sensitivity
4. probiotics twice a day.
I think it would take 5 days to settle.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
