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

The symptoms are highly suggestive of gastroenteritis. I would recommend meeting a physician so that a short course of antibiotics may be initiated as per local sensitivity. Ciprofloxacin or metronidazole are the common choices. Continue taking plenty of fluids. Watch the electrolytes. Initiate probiotcs as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
