Brief Answer:
Acute gastroenteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
From the history you have given it looks like you are suffering from gastroenteritis, which basically infection of the gut Here is what you should do
1. Tab omeprazole with domperidone is the ideal tablet for you. It has to be taken once daily before food
2. Avoid milk, milk products and caffeine until you are better
3. avoid spicy and oily food
4. eat on time and at regular intervals. Do not skip meals
5. Tab sporolac three times daily will replenish bad bacteria of the gut with good bacteria
6. keep yourself well hydrated with water
7. I would recommend you to start an antibiotic, preferably a combination like ciproflox with tinidazole for 5 days
8. You should approach a gastro enterologist
9. Do not take immodium (loperamide), it causes severe gaseous distention of the stomach. I recommend Racecodotril instead for stopping the watery diarrhea
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
