take probiotic, lots of fluids and avoid dairy products

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in hcm. It appears that you have developed acute infectious enteritis. At this point I will suggest you to get your stool examination and complete haemogram for infection. If there is infection take a course of antibiotic like ofloxacin. Meanwhile take a course of probiotic. Keep your hydration level well by taking lots of fluids. Avoid dairy products. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health.
