HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Your symptoms may be related to infection of the gastrointestinal tract. This is most commonly viral or bacterial.
In light of how quickly the diarrhea resolved, it is likely viral.
This would cause the additional symptoms that you are experiencing. They would occur due to the infection itself and also as a result of the fluid loss (due to vomiting and diarrhea) and decreased appetite.
You may want to try probiotics and also fluids replacements such as gatorade that would give you both fluids and electrolytes.
I hope this helps
