Hello. Thanks for putting your query in HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
I will suggest you to get your stool examine for any infection. Meanwhile take a course of probiotic and some antispasmodic agent like drotavarinefor few days. If stool examine suggest infection then take a course of antibiotic.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
