Probably food poisoning, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to food poisoning.

I suggest you to drink a lot of water and avoid food for the first hours.

After some hours you can continue to eat small amount of the blend and non fatty food.

I also recommend taking mineral solution such as Pedialyte.

I suggest to avoid medication to stop vomiting or diarrhea.

If the vomiting continues I recommend to go at the emergency room for further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
