I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.
you symptoms and history is quite consitant with GIT infection. If you have body aches and mild fever it can most probably be viral infect. Usually there is no treatment needed for viral infection one just needs to eat good and infections itself gets better in 7-10 days.
Yellow diarrhea seems to be because of your stool frequency In my opinion there is nothing to worry about that.
Here are a few things which you need to do regarding this problem.
1) Don't eat heavy food take bananas fruits and XXXXXXX bread.
2) Drink good quantity of fluids to replace fluids you are losing.
3) Also add oral rehydration salt to the fluid you take in.
4) Take OTC probiotics.
5) There is nothing to panic but if things keep gettong worsened despite of all the care and life style changes for the next 2-3 days I will advise you to visit your doctor because in that case you may need prescription antibiotics.
