Brief Answer:
Probably the symptoms are related to a viral infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.

I recommend using an over the counter medication to treat diarrhea such as Imodium.

I also recommend to use daily probiotics.

The pain on the hip radiating to the back can be related to a muscular pain.

I recommend to use an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three tablets a day.

I suggest to drink liquids and rest.

I also suggest to eat small portions of bland food which is easy to be digested.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
