Hi. while travelling it is common to acquire food and water borne infections and have gastoenteritis.
Although your symptoms have reduced but persisting i would advise you to,

1. Take a course of antibiotics which include ornidazole with ofloxacin,
2. ORS sachets if you continue to have diarrhea,
3. have stool examination if diarrhea persists even after course of antibiotics.
