Brief Answer:
Viral Gastroenteritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details and I appreciate your concerns.
Very likely you are suffering from viral Gastroenteritis. It is viral infection of gut and is self limiting in nature.
However for loose motions you can take over the counter Imodium 4 mg three times a day to control loose stools. Along with it take oral rehydration solution one glass after each stool.
Take light food BRAT diet.
Banana Apple sauce Rice and Toast would be best.

Thank you!
