Brief Answer:
Maintain hydration
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
With your description of symptoms, most probable cause is viral infection of intestine . Tiredness is due to loss of fluid from body resulting in dehydration.
If a patient comes to me with these symptoms I usually treat them with fallowing advice:
Take plenty of fluids like butter milk, tender coconut, fruit juices.
Use ORS solution.
Avoid spicy food for few days.
Use lactobacillus medications.
With these measures loose stool should reduce in 4 or 5 days. with good hydration tiredness should reduce.
Antibiotic and investigations are not required but if your symptoms doesn't reduce you may need to get few test done.
Use of charcoal for few types of diarrhoea is not recommended especially for infective forms.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Regards
