General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. I recommend using daily probiotics. I also recommend using over the counter Laxative such as Miralax.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
