Diarrhea, vomiting can be due to gastrointestinal infection from bacteria due to contaminated food and water probably. In order to control it you need to take antibiotics like Ofloxacine + Ornidazole BD for 5 days.
You can also take low dose of Loperamide tablet and increase it subsequently if diarrhea continues. However no more than 16 mg. You need to take plenty of liquids to main hydration.
You can make solution of water, salt, lemon and take it. Take light meals for few days.try soup and curd in diet it has a healthy effect on gut.
