HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Your symptoms may be in keeping with gastroenteritis which is infection/inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract likely due to the foods consumed.
Holding off solid food will give your stomach and intestines time to heal. Dry, bland foods should be re introduced after a 6 hour period with no symptoms.
The use of fluids would prevent dehydration from the fluid loss from vomiting.
Probiotics may also help with speeding up the healing process.
There are medications that you can use to help decrease nausea and vomiting eg dramamine, peptobismol
I hope this helps
