Hi Niza,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having infection of the gastrointestinal tract.

You should get following investigations done :-
1. Complete Blood Count(CBC).
2. Stool examination(Routine/Microscopic and for Occult blood).

You should get yourself examined clinically.
You can take antacid like Omeprazole 20 mg once a day along with an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day and an antiamoebic like Metronidiazole 400 mg thrice a day. Also take a probiotic preparation.

Avoid spicy and heavy meals.
Drink lots of pure water to maintain hydration. You can take oral Rehydration Fluids if feeling dehydrated.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
