Brief Answer:
Oral mild antidiarrheals can help you.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance with increased oral fluid intake and some salt may be helpful. You can take Ready-mixed rehydration sachets (eg Dioralyte, Rehidrat).This is needed if there is dehydration or feeling of weakness.
Oral loperamide (Imodium) will help reducing intestinal motility and give symptomatic relief.
Have non spicy balanced diet.
