Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you are suffering from a bad enteritis. It is best treated with a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and tinidazole. Please approach a gastroenterologist and do not self medicate any further as it might complicate the issue

I hope I have answered your query

I wish you good health
