Viral Gastro: The most common infectious causes of vomiting and diarrhea are viral. They go away after a week or two. There are no medications to treat them. Supportive care, like plenty of hydration is all you need. See your doctor if you have further concerns.

Gastrointestinal : probably viral gastroenteritis . Symptomatic treatment will help, more liquids and rest.
