What Causes Severe Vomiting And Diarrhea?

I m a single dad and my 17 year old daughter has been throwing up and has had diarrhea since Sunday night. She couldn t keep down Gatorade until today and she ate a few saltine crackers. She felt a bit better this afternoon and fell asleep but just woke up and feels weak and her stomach feels like a knot, possibly from the heaving. She s been sipping Gatorade for electrolytes but hasn t eaten. Should I take her to the ER for nutrients and fluids? Recommendations please?
