Brief Answer: its gastroenteritis Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, Thanks for writing to HCM. Looks like you are having gastroenteritis, food poisoning. For my patients i usually prescribe an antibiotic like metronidazole, an antiemetic and ppi combination like pantaprazole with domperidone and a preprobiotic. Though all these are easily available over the counter, if you dont get them, you need to see a local doctor for prescription. Also drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. With these medicine you will be work ready in a day, but do take a complete course of five days, else it may relapse. And finally eat healthy. Hope that i have answered to all your queries. If you have further queries, i will be glad to answer them. Get well soon. Dr. Ashish Verma
