Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of having severe food poisoning so that there is continuous vomiting and diarrhea, needs rest, wants to know what to do to get a rest.
This is going on for 6 hours.
As per the history you have provided this is food poisoning and the vomiting is not stopping.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation as you can go into complications of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance,.
Rush to ER or nearby hospital so that clinical evaluation and examination can be done.
Intra-venous fluids and electrolytes along with proper antibiotics can be given.
Also take a PPI like Omeprazole, Metoclopramide or Domperidone to stop vomiting as this is the primary and most important thing to have proper management.
Also take curds, banana and activated charcoal if the vomiting stops.
Complete the course till cured.
Avoid all the foods and beverages that cause such problems.
Boiled cooled water and soft bland diet once start tolerating.
