HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Viral infection is most likely. There are severe viral infections that require treatment but most are mild.
The green stool is because they are loose. Normally the bile in the stool changes as it passes through the bowel. If the bowel movements are more frequent than usual then the bile has no time to undergo its normal changes.
Using fluids, rest, paracetamol would help.
If the nausea is severe, you can consider pepto bismol or dramamine.
I hope this helps
