Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.
Related your concern I think this is gastroenteritis ( viral or bacterial).
In your case I suggest to drink a lot of water, natural tea, should use tresol, probiotics and continue to use ondasetron and pepto if you have again nausea and vomiting.
During this time you should monitoring your blood presure, fever and frequency of urination and should stop drinking milk , sparkling drinks and fatty foods.
You should eat toasted breads, cheese, yogurt and banana.
If this situation last more than 3 days and you have a low blood pressure and decrease of urination frequency you should meet an Infectious diseases specialist for further evaluation.
I hope my answer helps you. Feel free to ask me further.

Hello! Thank you writing back in healthcaremagic. I am sorry for my late response.
Based on that your situation that last more than 3 days I suggest to do a physical examination by an Infectious Diseases Specialist and to do CBC, parasite stool test, culture stool test, azotemi/creatinemia, elecrtolytes, abdominal ultrasound in order to define better the diagnosis and to start a prompt treatment ( usually I prescribe ciprofloxacin).
During this time you should continue to drink a lot of water, natural tea, and to use tresol and probiotics.
I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
