Hi, thank you for posting!

I have gone through your query and I understand your problems.

I think that your symptoms are caused by a condition called acute gastroenteritis
(inflammation of gastrointestinal tract).

Factors that might have caused this condition, are viral, bacterial and protozoan.

In order to determine the right diagnosis, you need physical examination and stool culture.

The treatment of the condition requires rehydration, such as ORS (oral rehydration solution).

Stool culture will determine if you need any antibiotics.

For more, you should consult your infectologist.

Hoped this is helpful.

Take care,
Dr. Behar.
