Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having acute infection of gastroenteritis, an infection of the gastrointestinal tract and needs proper management.

You should also get your stool examined.

You can take anntacid like Omeprazole 20 mg once a day along with antispasmodic like Dicycloverine.
Antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day along with antiamoebic like Metronidiazole 400 mg thrice a day will help in control of infection. You should also take a probiotic preparation alongwith the above medicines.

Hydration should be maintained. You should take Oral Rehydration Fluids to compensate the loss of electrolytes and water due to excessive diarrhoea.

You should consume light meals made in hygeinic conditionns.
If the problem persists, get yourself examined clinically.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
