Vomiting and diarrhea for 48 hours, trip to the ed?

Yes if: If you are vomiting a lot while having diarrhea as well, you may end up very dehydrated. Although the problem may be transient, it is prudent to seek medical attention unless it is already improving at this time.

Depends: The primary concern is dehydrating and electrolyte disturbance. If you are able to keep fluids, not just water, down and keep yourself hydrated then you can contact your doctor for more advice. However, if you cannot do so or if you are unable to reach your doctor then by all means go the ed.
