Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to food poisoning.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Avoid food for the first few hours -Get plenty of rest. as your stomach settles down.
-Drink water, broth, or an electrolyte solution, which will replace the minerals that you lose with vomiting and diarrhea.
-Eat when you feel ready, but start with small amounts of bland, nonfatty foods such as toast, rice, and crackers.
Hope my answer was helpful!
Kind Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
