Brief Answer:
probably gastroenteritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

It may be acute gastroenteritis. Has the diarrhea stopped now or still on-going? How are your other symptoms now? If they are persisting, you may need a course of intestinal antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and metronidazole combination.

For the sour stomach and continual burping, I would suggest you to take over the counter available antacids like Capsule Omeprazole 20mg on empty stomach daily early in the morning for a few days.

Take bland diet and drink plenty of fluids orally. The terrible odor should go away soon too.

My wishes for your early recovery.

Regards,
