Suggest Treatment For Stomach Infection

Question: I was in vacation and binge drinked for a week straight. Sunday was the last day. Monday I woke up very sick, dizzy. I felt I was slow to react, that my brain was "foggy", I vomited water and had diahrea. It's my third day and still feeling ill, just a little bit better. Should I consult a medic or just drink a lot of water and keep it easy. Please advise.
Brief Answer:
Consult medic if diarrhea vomiting more than 24 hr
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
If you are having continuous vomiting and diarrhea for more than 24 hours then consultation with a medic is necessary. This is to rule out any acute gastrointestinal infection and treat it on time.
Taking lots of water and fresh fluids is important to prevent dehydration. Please consume home cooked foods for next few days and stay away from alcohol.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
