Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
I can understand your concern.
You seem to have been suffering from a viral infection affecting your stomach.
Avoid gatorade for some days.
Take paracetamol for fever(>100 degrees).
Take some ondansetron tabs before meals to stop nausea and vomiting.
Take omeprazole capsules to decrease acidity that occurs in this desease.
Take plenty of rest and ORS like fluids.
If the problem persists consult your doctor.You should recover fast.
Please do not panic.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
