Brief Answer:
Might be gastritis, symptomatic treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
I would like to know few more information like
How many episodes of vomiting? What is its content?
Did you take outside food?
Are you eating spicy food? Do you drink alcohol? Do you smoke?
Is there any diarrheas?
Based on the information I feel you have gastritis.
Most cases of gastritis are caused by viruses and requires only symptomatic treatment, consuming contaminated foods or drinks is another common cause.
I would suggest you to drink plenty of water or electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
Add bland foods to your diet, such as bananas, toast, oatmeal and rice in small amounts every couple of hours. Avoid spicy food. Restrict meat for few days.
You can take curd which will be beneficial.
You can take capsule omeprazole 20 mg before breakfast, empty stomach once daily for a week. If the vomiting is severe you can take emset (ondansetron) an antiemetic agent. But it requires a valid prescription to get it. Probiotics like sporolac or ecobion will be beneficial.
In case if your symptoms persist, I would have suggest you to see local doctor for examination.
Hope this helps
Take care.
