Brief Answer:
Gastroenteritis.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The symptoms you are describing are mostly suggestive of gastroenteritis which is the infection of the intestine.

Stool analysis and culture are required to confirm the diagnosis. Management is with antibiotics (usually a combination of Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole) for which you will need a prescription. So please be advised to follow up with the urgent care.

Meanwhile, drink plenty of water and electrolyte containing drinks like Gatorade. Follow soft diet. BRAT (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast) diet will be easier on your tummy.
For diarrhea take Imodium 4mg twice daily(otc)
Take Zofran 4mg anti emetic two times a day to control nausea and vomiting(Otc).
You can also take Buscopan 10 mg thrice daily for abdominal cramps.

Hope this answers your query
