How Can Diarrhea And Vomiting Be Treated?
Hi - yesterday, I came with fatigue, vomiting, diarrehea, and chills and fevers - I stayed at home and slept all day took just water and Gatorade; today I fell better, the vomiting has stopped, but I still have diareah and my stomach hurts; I also stayed home today and have slept much of the day today. I had my flu shot in November : do you recommend anything OTC at this point or any other actions.

Might just be a case of indigestion. I recommend drinking lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. Oral rehydration solution or sports drink is better than plain water.
Medication is generally not required but if the diarrhea is persistent you can take anti motility medications like Loperamide.
Keep a easy to digest diet like rice, banana.
Hope you get better soon, thank you.
