Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, it seems like intestinal or gastric tract infection. Amoebic dysentery or bacterial diarrhea are two likely possibilities.

In both case he may need antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and metronidazole as well as OTC analgesics like acetaminophen for fever and antispasmodic like drotavarine for the abdominal pains.

Stool analysis may be done to confirm the diagnosis. Complete blood count, as well as serum electrolytes and renal functions, may be confirmed to look for any sign of water and electrolytes deficiencies and good hydration and oral rehydration salts must be ensured.

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

Take care

Regards,
