Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
The symptoms you have mentioned suggestive of gastroenteritis/food poisoning. It could be due to bacterial or viral in origin. You might have got the infection through contaminated food or water.
I suggest you to consult a general physician and get the following things done.
(1)- Get basic blood investigations like CBC (complete blood count)
(2)- Do stool routine examination to look for any bacterial or parasitic infection.
(3)- A short course of antibiotics can be tried empirically.
(4)- Drink plenty of water and ORS(oral rehydration solution) to keep yourself hydrated.
(5)- Antiemetics like domperidone and antacids may be used to control vomiting and gastritis.
(6)- Carminative mixture may be used to sooth your bowel.
You don't need to worry much as it will subside with above mentioned conservative measures. If symptoms persist despite all these, additional investigations like ultrasound may be needed.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
