Brief Answer:
Acute gastroenteritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you are suffering from gastroenteritis. Which is nothing but infection of the intestines and the stomach.
Here is how you should go about it

1. Drink plenty of water and keep yourself well hydrated
2. I usually prescribe combination antibiotic like ciprofloxacin with tinidazole twice daily for 5 days
3. avoid milk and milk products until you are better
4. keep your meals bland. Donot consume spicy food
5. tab sporolac three times a day will help replenish the intestine with good bacteria
6. for vomiting I recommend omeprazole once a day before food for 5 days

I hope I was of help, please get back to me for any further queries
