Brief Answer:
This sounds like a viral intestinal infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am sos ory to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed your symptoms and the information fully. This is suggestive of a viral infection that started with diarrhea. They are often annoying and cause general body malaise, pains and a feeling of being unwell. The good news is that time is always the solution and there are no aggressive medical measures that need to be undertaken.

Healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, regular exercise and much fluids intake would prove helpful in this case. This is convalescence and would soon be over. If the pains are severe, take tylenol and for the belching, take omeprazole as this could be related to excess acid in the stomach.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
