Understanding your concern. As per your query your have symptoms of severe vomiting and diarrhea which is due to dehydration which seems to be due to food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. It could be due to disturbed metabolism of body leading to electrolyte imbalance. Need not to worry. You should avoid outside food. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen and anti emetic medication. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Visit gastroebnterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of condition and start treatment accordingly. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days. You should take proper rest. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
