Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear thanks for trusting health care magic.
Outside food often causes such problems but are usually well tolerated.
Take tablet perinorm (which has metoclopramide), tablet sporolac DS and syrup Digene or gelusil which is an antacid.
Take a lot of water as much as possible and rest till you feel better.
In case these don't help then take tablet ondansetron which helps to relieve Vomitings instantly.
I hope you will be fine by morning.
Take care.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Antibiotic needed

Detailed Answer:
You need to take antibiotic for this dear, so in my opinion visit a gynaecologist for prescription as I usually give tablet metronidazole for this which is a prescription drug.
Till then take ample water with ORS powder which is dissolved as 1 packet in 1 litre of water.
Take rest as much as possible.
