Hello,
It may be due to dysentery or stomach infection.
For further assessment you may require complete hemogram, stool analysis, ultrasound abdomen after physician consultation.
You may require antibiotics after consultation.
Keep your self hydrated.
Continue oral rehydration solution.
Do blood pressure monitoring
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
