Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Most likely it's due to disturbed gastro intestinal flora because of food poisoning .Infectious organisms or their toxins can contaminate food at any point of processing or production.Rcent stay in hotel is suggestive of possible exposure to Contamination.Our gut consists of its own environment of micro organism called gut flora(Good bacterias).They are responsible for proper digestion of food.Once this flora is depleted by toxins released by bacteria causes symptoms like bloating belching vomiting loose stools etc.
Most likely its bacterial in your case,A short term course of Tablet ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily along with Secnidazole 1 gram daily should be taken.
Apart from that would suggest you to take a good probiotic for 3 days. This will help the good bacteria's to replenish again. Once the flora is replenished intestinal motility and secretions will be improved. Tablet Neksium 40mg along with Domperidome 30mg can be taken along with it to provide relief in nausea and vomiting.Drink a lot of fluid and electrolytes to replenish the level in blood as sodium and potassium is lost in vomiting.
Most of the time food poisoning is self limiting and takes 3-5 days to settle down.In case symptoms are not relieved in two doses,Visit the nearest emergency get a ultrasound abdomen done,And get antibiotic intravenous shots.
Hope i answered your query well,If you have any other question feel free to ask.
Regards.
