Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Vomiting

I had a stomach virus two weeks ago. Throwing up, but only for one day. Two weeks later i have another stomach virus, but this time diarrhea. I am on my third day of it. I have an appointment to see a doctor later today. My questions are.... Is it possible to get a stomach virus twice in a short time? Is there something i can do to ease the symptoms? How long will this last?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Ya it's possible. Since you are not vomiting and able to tolerate orally Take ORS that will help you prevent dehydration. You can also start probiotics to regulate a healthy gut flora. Since other symptomalogies are not detailed and examination is not feasible it's wise to see a near by doctor.
