Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.

It appears to be due to GI infection. For which I will suggest you to take plenty of fluid and electral powder to prevent fluid and electrolyte insufficiency. Also take a course of probiotics along with mild antispasmodic like drotavarine. Enterogermina is very good probiotic and I frequently use this on my patients with good results. There are no side effects of this medicine

For immediate relief take antisecretory agent like Lomotil on sos basis

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
