It can be gastro enteritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. This can be acquired from food. Most cases will be self limiting.

Take enough fluids and electrolytes according to lose. You can take tender coconut water , ORS , tea with lemon, sugar and salt etc. Taking yogurt or kefir is good. Avoid milk. You can take banana also. Applying hot water bags on abdomen will be soothing. You can take zantac (ranitidine) to decrease bowel irritation. Taking probiotics also is good.

If frequency of loose motion continues then go for a stool routine to rue out bacterial infection and in such case you may need antibiotics.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
