Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. From your symptoms it looks like you are suffering from an abdominal infection (gastroenteritis). This could have been caused by something you ate a few days back.
As it is associated with fever and chills, it is better that you start an antibiotic as soon as possible (ciplox with metronidazole). You should take these medicines for atleast 3 days.
In addition to this take a lot of fluids (in the form of ORS or lemonade). For the nausea you can take Emset tablets.
If the symptoms persist, you should visit the ER and get yourself evaluated by a doctor.

Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
