Antibiotics: It is ideal that you get stool samples sent to the lab to determine the causative organism. If the cause is bacterial, you may need antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin to treat the gastroenteritis. Please visit your doctor.

Stool samples : And examination are needed. May be an infection some of which are treated with antibiotics eg giardia some of which are not but if severe symptoms may require intravenous fluids etc
