Hi.
Noted your petechiae break out on lower legs - slight elevation in the test for viral infection - stomach issue - loose stool and some constipation - Petechiae are going away but the stomach issue has awakened you throughout the night and feeling like having flu.
This in fact can be due to flu and you have to take a symptomatic treatment meaning, medicines as per the symptoms you have and will develop.
Take probiotic, antispasmodic if pain in abdomen, plenty of oral fluids and electrolyte solutions if you have dehydration.
Since this is a self-limiting disease, you will get fine soon.
Take full rest as it help for early recovery.
If there is no relief, go for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations for planning further management.
