Brief Answer:
get stool examination done

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The most likely cause is infective diarrhoea.
I would suggest to get a stool examination done.
I would suggest to start an antibiotic like ciprofloxacin. This is a prescription drug. Take plenty of fluids and an antispasmodic like dicyclomine for the pain relief.

In case the symptoms persist beyond a week, you would need a colonoscopy.

Hope this helps
