General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day to you. Thanks for your query and I am sorry for your illness.
You are having symptoms of diarhea and stomach upset for over a week. This is probably due to Acute gastroenteritis. If I were your treating doctor , I would like to ask some questions , do you have fever with diarhea, are you regularly eating from restaurants?
I would like to do some investigations like
Complete blood count, CRP, liver function tests to rule out acute hepatitis, stool examination and widal test to rule out salmonella infection.
Meanwhile you have to start treatment with
1) Flagyl ( metronidazole) 400mg three times a day for 5 days
2) Antacid suspension 3 times a day
3) Oral rehydration salt.
4) paracetamol 500mg 3 times a day
5) Take plenty of fluids. eat soft diet.
I would like to review after 5 days to see your progress and also check the reports of your investigations.
Hope this is helpful.
