Hi,
Firstly thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
As per your query most likely you are having gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of gastric mucosa. Most commonly its viral.Viral gastroenteritis usually limits itself in 7-10 days,But in your case as it is already more then 10 days. Initially i would advice you to go for stool routine and microscopy test to rule out to rule out Bacterial or Protozoal infection. As therapy with antibiotic has to be taken if its bacterial or protozoal enteritis.
For watery stools take imodium (Loperamide) 2mg twiice daily
Take a probiotic twice daily.It repletes the disturbed gastric flora hence making digestion better.
Apart from that Metamucil should be taken twice daily.It will increase bulk of stool and bowels normal.
Take Zofran 4mg twice daily to relieve you from nausea.
Once the infection settles down fever will settle down itself.Fever is suggestive of ongoing infection in body.
Aches are due to electrolyte imbalance.Try to take lot of electrolytre's (sodium and potassium).
General precautions-
Eat light and easily digestible food.
Avoid meat egg and fatty food.
Try boiled food(Vegetables) with spices and herbs for a week.
Drink plenty of orange juice and coconut water(As salts lost in stools are repleted muscle aches would go away).
Keep yourself hydrated.
