Brief Answer:
Requires symptomatic treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
Beard on the information, your symptoms are likely to be related to the food you had consumed. You require only symptomatic treatment.
You do not need antibiotic and also not anti diarrhoeal agent.
I would suggest you to drink plenty of water or electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
Add bland foods to your diet, such as bananas, toast, oatmeal and rice in small amounts every couple of hours. Avoid spicy food. Restrict meat for few days.
You can take curd which will be beneficial.
You can take capsule omeprazole 20 mg before breakfast, empty stomach once daily for a week. Or Omez D , which includes antiemetic for two days and then omeprazole.
Probiotics like sporolac or ecobion will be beneficial.
Try this measures, of it does not help, I would suggest you to be local doctor for help.
Hope this helps
Take care.
