hi
thank you for asking your concern and welcome to hcm. from your above description it is more likely to be acute gastritis. you may have history of having food at some other place or any change in food recently, recent stress, disturbed sleep. even if it is not there gastritis can happen without any identifiable cause. you can take tablet omeprazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast for 5-7 days only. if you are having loose stool with some mucus then it may be an amoebic dysentery then you need to take tablet metronidazole 400 mg thrice a day for 7 days, but before this you can consult any physician. if no loose stool then just omeprazole is sufficient. eat small but frequent meals, do not drink water immediately after food you can drink after 30-40 min. drink warm water occasionally in a day.
if you feel any doubt please ask us
