Thanks for the information.

You are having most probably travelers diarrhea, Important point is to prevent dehydration. The treatment that is usually available over the counter is -

- oral rehydration solution or gatorade

- Tablet imodium (loperamide), to reduce the watery stools

- bepto bismal syrup

- tylenol if you have any pain or fever

- light food that is easily digestible

If there is no improvement after the above treatment in the next 24 hours then you might need to consult a doctor for need of antibiotics.
