Brief Answer:
Fluid replacement should be enough

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the details as requested.
From the history that you have given and the nature of symptoms that you have given it appears that your infection could be viral in etiology. All you need to do is wait for 2-3 days more and this will settle on its own.
Till then you should take plenty of water to replenish what is lost in the stools.
If it persists beyond the period specified then you can start an antibiotic like ofloxacin twice a day for 3 days. This will help if there is any overlying bacterial infection.
For the burining pain behind the sternum take ranitidine 150 mg twice a day which will reduce the pain.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
