Brief Answer:
Start probiotic and antacid...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Based on your description, this might be related to intestinal infection. I would suggest to drink plenty of fluids preferably with ORS, probiotic like enterogermina three times a day for 2 days and proton pump inhibitor like Cap Pan D twice daily before food.

Usually these symptoms should be resolve in a day or two. But if the problem persists for more than 2 days, I would recommend to visit a doctor. You might need a course of antibiotic.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
