To manage diarrhea and vomiting, drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and rest as much as possible. Avoid solid foods until you feel better and gradually reintroduce bland foods when you can.
When dealing with both diarrhea and vomiting, staying hydrated is very important. Drink small sips of clear fluids like water or broth often. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol as these can make dehydration worse.
Rest is also key. Your body needs energy to fight off whatever is causing the symptoms, so try to rest as much as you can.
Avoid solid foods until you feel like you can keep something down. Once you are ready, start with bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (often called the BRAT diet).
If symptoms persist or if you feel very weak, it is important to seek medical attention. In some cases, diarrhea and vomiting can be signs of a more serious condition that needs treatment.
