Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
'Bad' or contaminated food can result in the transmission of bacterial or viral infection.
Either of these can cause the symptoms that you mentioned.
It can also occur is exposed to someone else with a viral or bacterial infection of their gastrointestinal tract
In most persons the symptoms last less than a week and this should be the case for you.
Tingling can occur due to the slight electrolyte disturbance that can occur as a result of vomiting and decreased oral intake.
Treatment would generally consist of : (1) holding off solid food till there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms
When this time frame passes, it would be best to start with small amounts of dry food such as toast or biscuits or plain rice.
Banana is sometimes used as well.
(2) medications such as dramamine and/or pepto bismol would help with nausea
(3)use a gatorade or other sport drink which has been slightly diluted to decrease sugar concentration
This would help to replace electrolytes that you may have lost though you should not have lost too much.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
