HI.
Vomiting , pain in abdomen, diarrhea, headache and hot-cold flashes are suggestive of a Gastroenteritis , a waterborne infection.
You need to take your friend to the ER, get intravenous fluids and antibiotics and may have to stay till getting alright.
Do not force oral fluids if vomiting.
Dehydration and septicemia are the complications you have to worry about.
Once the vomiting stops , oral fluids, curds, banana, activated charcoal and probiotics can be started .
