Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms may be due to minor gastroenteritis. Most often it will subside on its own, no definite management is required. You can take ORS and anti secretive like Racecadotril may be tried. If symptoms persist. then antibiotics may be required.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
