Hello dear
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query
I understand your concern

Your symptoms could be a gastroenteritis, liver and biliary tract infection, kidney infection, irritable bowel syndrome, duodenal ulcer.

Meanwhile take following advises:
Continue pro-biotic capsule and Z pack
Tablet unienzme
Tablet dicyclomine and diclofenac
Fiber supplements like Ispaghula husk
Drink plenty of fluids and ORS to maintain hydration
Avoid: spicy and oily foods, emotional stress, smoking and alcohol
Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions like banana, rice, applesauce and toast.
Do regular exercise like walking to keep the bowel movement regular
