Hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns. The symptoms that you have told can appear in acute gastroenteritis, or worm infection. In acute gastroenteritis, there if usually fever, pain abdomen, vomiting, loose tools can be present or not. Inform infection, there are chances of loose tools. In my opinion, you should give Albendazole syrup to get rid of worms. An antibiotic like ofloxacin should be given to treat infection. If there is no improvement in 24 hours, then a stool routine microscopy should be done. I hope this will help you. Take care.
