HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Travelers diarrhea could be due to diet and infection and it is the self limiting condition if passing of the stool is three to four time in day but more than this may needed the treatment.
If I would be doctor of this case then I would try to treat this case with Tab Doxycycline 100 mg once in day for five days along with Probiotic, it is important to take care for dehydration, for abdomen pain antispasmodic can be tried.
hope this information helps.
