Brief Answer:
Take ORS

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I have read your query and it seems like viral gastro-enteritis. This is a self-limiting condition and gets better by itself.

First and most important treatment is to take ORS made in clean water. It should be taken after every motion and vomiting or as guided by thirst. It will help avoid any electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, fever, infection.

To combat feverish feeling you can take Tab paracetamol 500 mg 3-4 times a day.

Tab Imodium can be taken 1-2 times a day as required to stop the intestine motion.

Antibiotics may be started if there is any blood in stools, excessive diarhea or diarhea lasts more than 4-5 days.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
