Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. I believe you used Barfed for vomiting. let me reassure you that traveller's gastroenteritis is very common and vomiting predominates sometimes. Activated charcoal helps too but that basically is reserved for overdoses and poisoning cases causing vomiting. taking some antivert , some motility enhancing medication like domperidone or metoclopramide and modifying diet till full recovery like BRAT diet ( banana , rice , applesauce and toast) and pomegranate juices, green tea and yogurt with peppermint.
No worries. These symptoms will self resolve. I hope it helps. Take good care o yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
