Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I strongly feel that this is probably the first symptom of the same infection that your relatives had.
I think you will need to undergo a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and metronidazole as well.
Alternatively, you can meet your physician to start antibiotics as per the bacterial sensitivity in your area.
Do take care of your fluid and electrolyte balance if you do develop loosestools or vomiting.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Feel free to ask a follow up query on the topic.
Get well soon.
