General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi. Sorry to hear about your problem.
Travellers diarrhea is not an uncommon event . But fever not uaually a symptom of travellers diarrhea. So keeping in view further points in history ( abdominal complaints associated with high grade fever ) am suspecting it to be enteric fever(typhoid). so my advice at the moment is to visit a physician near you to get investigated for confirmation of diagnosis ( typhidot, widal, stool examination, stool culture and CBC ) and get a prescription of appropriate antibiotics. Additionally you may need some antipyretics . Wishing you best of health. Regards.
