What Should I Do About A Severely Swollen Tongue, Vomiting And Diarrhea?

Bacterial gastroenteritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The symptoms you are describing are mostly suggestive of Bacterial gastroenteritis (commonly called food poisoning), which is the bacterial infection of the intestine.
Stool analysis and culture are required to confirm the diagnosis. Management is with antibiotics (usually a combination of Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole) for which you will need a prescription. So please be advised to follow up with the urgent care.
Meanwhile, drink plenty of water and electrolyte containing drinks like Gatorade. Follow soft diet. BRAT (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast) diet will be easier on your tummy.
As of now you can take following over the counter medicines-
1)Tablet imodium 4mg three times a day to stop loose motions.
2)Tab zofran 4mg twice daily for nausea and vomiting.
Hope you would be fine soon.
Thanks!
