Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

It looks like it is a viral gastrointestinal infection. In general it has 1 day of vomiting and around 7 days with diarrhea.
During this time it is important to drink plenty of fluids (small amounts each time but very often so total more then 3 liters/day). Also, take the medicine for nausea only if needed. Take a diet with Banana, Rice, Apples and Toast. Avoid milk. All this diet will help you substitute the components you are losing from the diarrhea.
Take a painkiller for the neck pain, after food. It has been caused because of sleeping in a bed position most probably.

If you have a stool with mucus or blood, then you should go and see again your local doctor because that means that you may need an antibiotic that he can prescribe.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
