Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe loose stools which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which is a type of viral infection and could be due to electrolyte imbalance in body.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper rest. You should do tepid sponging as well if there is fever along with loose stools. You should have plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take diet rich in bland food. You should take diet rich in multivitamins. Avoid intake of outside hot and spicy food substances. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of your condition whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You should take diet rich in fibres and proton pump inhibitors. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
