Hi,

It seems you have acute gastroenteritis or good poisoning. The mainstay of treatment is to keep yourself hydrated with plenty of fluids or oral rehydration salt. If there is associated pain in abdomen, fever or blood in stools, then you need to take antibiotics as well, which in this case is ciprofloxacin which is very effective and is drug of choice. However, any medication should be taken only after consultation with your doctor.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Zahir Shah, Internal Medicine Specialist
