Brief Answer:
Antibiotis and oral rehydration required
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If the loose motions have started suddenly then it is surely due to some infection. It is advisable to do the following
1. A short course of GI antibiotics namely a combination of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole for 7 days.
2. Plenty of oral fluids.
3. Avoid outside food and non veg till you are settled.
I am sure the above measures will help.
