Dehydration is the biggest threat from diarrhea so keep drinking fluids. You need a lot more than you might think. If your vomiting has stopped and the diarrhea resolves in the next 24 hours you should be ok. If you develop severe abdominal pain, fever, or persistent vomiting that prevents you from holding down fluids, go to the emergency room.
