What to do after diarrhea and vomiting?

Kal se thoda pet kharab hai, and I've had diarrhea and vomiting quite a few times. I'm feeling very weak now. What should I eat or drink, ya kuch aur karna chahiye to feel better?

Honestly, after something like that, especially if it was severe, I'd say just get it checked by a doctor once. Better safe than sorry, right? Dehydration can be tricky, and they can tell you if you need anything specific to recover properly.

Take care of yourself, friend. Your body needs rest and gentle healing. Drink plenty of fluids, eat light, and trust that your body will recover. Stay positive, good health will come back.

Oh god, that sounds awful. I always panic after vomiting, like 'what if it comes back?'. Just focus on rehydrating very slowly, small sips. And please eat only super bland stuff, like khichdi or plain curd rice, nothing spicy at all. Don't rush it!

My doctor always stresses ORS after such episodes to restore electrolytes, not just plain water. Also, they suggested avoiding dairy, oily food, and coffee for a few days. Start with easily digestible foods like banana, rice, apple sauce, and toast. Small, frequent meals are key.

Haan, these things can really drain you. If you feel very weak or it doesn't settle in a day, then visiting a local doctor is best, rather than waiting till it gets bad and then emergency visits cost more. Meanwhile, ORS sachets are cheap and effective. Avoid outside food for sure.

Just rest and drink lots of water. Eat simple home food. Your body needs time to get back to normal. Don't worry too much.

Beta, don't worry too much, this happens sometimes. Just like your body is telling you, rest is most important. Drink nimbu pani with a little salt and sugar, it always helps. And eat only very light dal-chawal for a couple of days. You'll be fine.
