Doctor can examine: A tummy ache with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, whether at home or traveling, may be from a virus infection, bacteria infection, or contaminated food. A normal person, not pregnant, not on medications, usually recovers easily. Some people find help by taking a Pedialyte popsicle or 2-3 oz of Pedialyte hourly, plus drinking or eating little else, for just one day. Doctor can examine.
