Its food poisoning.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

It seems like you are having food Poisoning. Most of the food poisoning is due to bacterial contamination of the food ( Meat in your case ).

As you may know for bacterial infections a course of antibiotics is necessary and hence I advise you to get a prescription for antibiotic ( preferably Offloxacin + Ornidazole ) and use it .

Also use anti emetics like Ondansetron and make sure you hydrate yourself well by drinking water , ORS or fruit juice. IF inspite of taking Ondansetron tablets , vomiting is not subsiding then better you get one Injection Ondansetron.

Avoid Non veg food , Milk , curds and butter milk.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
