Fever,abdominal pain and loose stools indicate gastroenteritis.As you are having fever and abdominal pain, it is better to start antibiotics. Along with this, we also need to replace fluid loss with rehydrating solutions like ORS. Abdominal pain can be managed with simple analgesics.
For such cases in my clinic, I give a combination of norfloxacin/ofloxacin + metronidazol/ornidazol, along with ORS, and paracetamol for 5-7 dayd. Your doctor will guide you in treatment.
Meanwhile, take 1glass ORS after each stools.
Avoid fiber rich items like fruits till recovery. It will usually take 3-5 days for complete recovery.
To avoid future recurrences, drink only boiled/mineral water.avoid juices from outside.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further questions, I will be happy to help.
Wishing for a faster cure, thank you.

Brief Answer:
Sorry to say that is not permitted.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I am really sorry.
It is not possible to give a real prescription online.We are permitted only to give suggestions and guidance regarding diagnosis and treatment.This is for patients safety only.Schedule H drugs drugs can be prescribed only after a direct consultation,physical examination,and recording of vitals.Violation of this will attract legal issues.
Anyhow,if your fever has gone away,there is no blood in stool,and no pain particularly on passing stool,this can initially be managed with fluid replacement as I told,along with paracetamol 500 mg thrice daily(hope you are not allergic)-these you can get OTC with out a prescription.
Otherwise,if fever is persisting/blood in stools/pain on defecation/symptoms not coming down in 3 days of supportive management-this need antibiotics too,and you may need investigations like stool and blood test.kindly see a doctor for further treatment.
Hope you will take it in the right perspective.
Wishing you good health,Thank you.
