General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Your symptoms are suggestive of infective diarrhea (most probably amoebic). Get stool examination done for causative organisms.
Start ORS (WHO approves) - dissolve 1 sachet in 1 liter of drinking water and drink as much as you can. Continue Tylenol if fever is there. Start Tablet Ornidazole 12 hourly for 5 days (watch for any allergic reactions - if there, stop medication).
If stool examination shows bacterial / mixed infection also start tablet Ofloxacin 12 hourly for 5 days. As these are prescription drugs you have to get it prescribed from nearby physician.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
