Brief Answer:
Worthwhile to visit a doctor...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your complaints are spread across multiple body systems something that is common with a viral infection. Are you running fever too?

However without a physical examination it is not easy to assess and confirm diagnosis. Therefore if would be worthwhile to visit a doctor for a physical examination. In the meanwhile if loose stools are persistent, you may start probiotic drugs (such as enterogermina) and antacids along with ORS powder.

Hope this suffices. Let me know if you need any other information.
