Brief Answer:
Gastroenteritis...
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.
The symptoms that you describe (puke, fever,diarrhea) correlates with gastroenteritis.
I know that you had your flue shot this year. (flueshot protects us from a certan type of viruses,not all of them)
Gastroenteritis is infection of our gastrointenstinal tract (stomach,intestines) by bacteria or virus. This condition usually needs around 4 to 5 days to heal.
Here are some advice to help your body.
-have plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. It is very important to take fluids to replace the ones that you lose with the diarrhea.
-paracetamol 500 mg for pain or the fever
-soup ,rice or pasta
-oral rehydration solutions (OHS), such as Pedialyte. These will replace the electrolites and don't need a prescription.
-sports drink
-have a lot of rest
The symptoms should go away in a couple of days.But if you have fever over 38 Celcius, bloody diarrhea,symproms don't go away in a couple of days, you can't drink any fluids than it is time to check up with your physician.
Remember gastroenteritis can be spread easily.So make sure to avoid contact with a lot of people and wash your hands often.
If you have any other question,don't hesitate to ask me.
Wishing you good health
