Brief Answer:
You should replace the fluid loss.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As per your description, you got infection of the gut.
It is due to contaminated food or water.
I prefer you to get admitted and start taking Intravenous fluids as you are having vomiting and you are already weak. The fluid and electrolytes lost in the stool will be replaced quickly.
Vomiting greenish brown material suggests bile. It is normally secreted in the gut. It has to be passed down. During vomiting, it comes out, it's common.
I also suggest in my patients Antibiotic like Levofloxacin to control the infection.
Please consult your doctor immediately and proceed accordingly.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Regards
