Watery diarrhea is most likely caused by acute gastroenteritis, often resulting from an unhealthy diet or consumption of undercooked food, which can lead to viral or bacterial infection and subsequently trigger acute gastroenteritis with symptoms such as watery diarrhea. Additionally, it may be caused by *Shigella* infection. It is recommended to seek prompt medical evaluation and treatment, and to ensure adequate hydration.
