Hello,
From the symptoms you have described, its quite obvious that you are having a diarrhea. Most of the diarrhea are due to viral infection such as rotavirus and some can occur due to toxins in the food. In both the cases, it is self remitting and the only thing you need to do is take excess of fluids. ORS solution should be taken whenever you are thirsty instead of plain water. Only if the infection is cause of bacteria, when you have fever along with smelly stools, then you should start on oofloxacin. Keep eating bland food as it will provide a roughage. Take some rest. If the stools dont stop then you should see a doctor who would like to infuse some fluids into you to maintain the balance.
Hope I am able to solve the concerns
Thanks.
