Hello
I understand your concern.
Most probably you got infection from food and traveler's diarrhea.
You should take tab. oflox twice daily for 5 days and tab. spasure twice daily for 5 days and tab. paracetamol 500 mg twice daily for 5 days.
And you should drink lot of fluids and try to eat semi solid foods for 3 days.
Drink apple juice or eat fruits like banana.
Hope this answers your question if you have any other question donot hesitate in asking us.
wishing you speedy recovery.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely that you have gastroenteritis. This is infection/inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
Treatment involves the following: (1)fluids- this is to prevent or treat dehydration.
You should use small amount initially then increase if tolerated.
Use oral rehydration solutions or gatorade
(2)probiotics either on their own or in yogurts with probiotics
(3)continue the pepto bismol
(4)hold off solid food for now. May restart when there is a 4 to 6 hour period with no symptoms
I hope this helps
