Brief Answer:
Need details
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It seems that you have viral gastroenteritis. It will get better by itself in few days. Antibiotics are not effective in a viral infection.
I will recommend that you take ORS in cleaner drinking water after every motion. Take soft diet.
If it does not get better in 5 days, then need to go for further testing and take medicines accordingly.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
