Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of viral gastroenteritis or gut flu. As expected, it is most likely related to the food you recently had.
The symptoms would get better over time, and no specific therapy is usually necessary.
You could consult a gastroenterologist if your symptoms persist beyond 5-7 days.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
