Brief Answer:
11 loose motions with 4 vomiting are too much go to nearest emergency room.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,

The symptoms you are describing are mostly suggestive of Bacterial gastroenteritis (commonly called food poisoning), which is the bacterial infection of the intestine.Stinky smell is suggestive of fermentation of food inside and development of bad bacterial colonies.

Stool analysis and culture are required to confirm the diagnosis. Management is with antibiotics (usually a combination of Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole) for which you will need a prescription. So please be advised to follow up with the urgent care.

Meanwhile, drink plenty of water and electrolyte containing drinks like Gatorade. Follow soft diet. BRAT (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast) diet will be easier on your tummy.

However 10-11 loose motions are too much with 4 vomiting it would be a better idea to go to nearest emergency room and get an i.v therapy for immediate resuscitation.

However if pulse and blood pressure are ok oral therapy could be tried.

Hope this answers your query
Please let me know if you need further clarification
