Hello!
I have been through your question.
Related your concern I think you have enteritis but to specify more if is viral or bacterial you need more investigation. Usually viral enteritis caused by noroviruses or rotaviruses and bacterial enteritis caused by salmonella, E.coli,shigella ect. However, if you have symptoms of enteritis for more than three or four days as you have ,in my experience, usually I suspect that you have bacterial enteritis. So, what I suggest in this situation is to do a physical examination ( monitoring blood pressure and urination) by an Infectious diseases specialist, culture stool, abdominal echo, do full blood count, azotemia/creatinemia (see renal function) electrolytes level to define better the diagnosis ant to start treatment as soon as possible with probiotics, tresol,drink a lot of water and tea as well with antibiotic if need it related to pathology (if is bacterial usually I prescribe ciprofloxacin or bactrim if you aren't allergic).
I hope my answer help you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
