Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
The symptoms you are describing is suggestive of viral Gastroenteritis or stomach flu.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, drink fluids rich in electrolytes like Gatorade, follow BRAT (Banana, Rice, Applesauce and Toast) diet.
Avoid citrus fruit juice.
Take adequate rest.
The symptoms will subside in 6-7 days.
